Creativity is a fundamental and remarkable human capacity, yet the scientific study of creativity has been limited by the difficulty of reconciling the scientific method and creative processes. We outline several hurdles and considerations that should be addressed when studying the cognitive neuroscience of creativity and suggest that jazz improvisation may be one of the most useful experimental models for the study of spontaneous creativity. More broadly, we argue that studying creativity in a way that is both scientifically and ecologically valid requires collaboration between neuroscientists and artists.
创造力是人类一项基本且卓越的能力，但由于难以协调科学方法与创新过程，创造力的科学研究一直受到限制。我们概述了在研究创造力的认知神经科学时需要解决的几个障碍和考虑因素，并提出爵士即兴创作可能是研究自发性创造力最有用的实验模型之一。更广泛地说，我们认为，以既具有科学意义又具有生态效度的方式研究创造力，需要神经科学家和艺术家之间的合作。
