Research

Our work is aimed at investigating human creativity and relational thinking through various methods. One goal of our research is to understand the neural basis for creative cognition and to investigate the use of neuromodulation techniques to enhance creative thinking and relational reasoning. Another goal is developing metrics and tools to quantify and measure aspects of creativity. Finally, we are working to translate our learnings about creativity and relational thinking to various real-world applications including STEM classrooms and college admissions. 

Our research is funded by grants from The National Science Foundation, The John Templeton Foundation, Templeton World Charity Foundation, The American Legacy Foundation, Pymetrics, Monad, and Partners in Research at Georgetown University. You can read more about the lab here.
