Neuroscientific studies revealed first insights into neural mechanisms underlying creativity,
but existing findings are highly variegated and often inconsistent. Despite the disappointing …

The traditional belief is that the event-related alpha response can solely be described in
terms of suppression or event-related desynchronization (ERD). Recent research, however …

An improved understanding of how the brain allocates mental resources as a function of task
difficulty is critical for enhancing human performance. Functional near infrared spectroscopy …

Application of physiological methods, in particular electroencephalography (EEG), offers
new and promising approaches to educational psychology research. EEG is identified as a …

Individual differences in general intelligence have been associated with differences in brain
structure and function. The currently most popular theory of the neural bases of intelligence …

We review research on the neural efficiency hypothesis of intelligence, stating that brighter
individuals display lower (more efficient) brain activation while performing cognitive tasks …

A four-factor model of spiritual intelligence is proposed. Supportive evidence is reviewed for
