创造力领域的神经科学研究主要集中在利用基本的言语发散思维需求的任务上。这项研究进一步调查了大脑机制，以应对其他类型的创造性行为，涉及更多的“现实生活”的创造性需求的情绪调节和幸福的背景下。具体来说，EEG阿尔法活动的功能模式进行了调查，而参与者被要求产生尽可能多的和尽可能不同的方式来重新评估提出的愤怒引发的情况下，以减少他们的愤怒。认知再评价涉及一些与传统言语创造性任务相同的认知过程，因为它要求个体抑制或脱离情感事件，在不同的视角之间转移注意力，并灵活地采用新的解决方案。为了研究认知重新评价过程中的α振荡是否与传统创造性思维过程中的α振荡不同，还在替代用途任务的执行过程中对EEG进行了评估，该任务要求个体尽可能多地生成物体的原始用途。虽然认知再评价与传统语言创造性思维中观察到的阿尔法功率模式相似，但前者在前额叶部位产生了显著更强的阿尔法功率增加，沿着更后部皮质部位的阿尔法功率增加，表明在产生有效策略以调节持续的负面情绪状态时，认知控制力更高，自发的想象力思维过程更少。
Neuroscientific studies in the field of creativity mainly focused on tasks drawing on basic verbal divergent thinking demands. This study took a step further by investigating brain mechanisms in response to other types of creative behavior, involving more “real-life” creativity demands in the context of emotion regulation and well-being. Specifically, functional patterns of EEG alpha activity were investigated while participants were required to generate as many and as different ways as possible to reappraise presented anger-eliciting situations in a manner that reduces their anger. Cognitive reappraisal involves some of the same cognitive processes as in conventional verbal creativity tasks, inasmuch as it requires an individual to inhibit or disengage from an emotional event, to shift attention between different perspectives, and to flexibly adopt new solutions. To examine whether alpha oscillations during cognitive reappraisal are different from those during conventional creative ideation, the EEG was also assessed during performance of the Alternative Uses task, requiring individuals to generate as many and as original uses of an object as possible. While cognitive reappraisal was associated with a similar pattern of alpha power as observed in conventional verbal creative ideation, the former yielded significantly stronger alpha power increases at prefrontal sites, along with lower alpha increases at more posterior cortical sites, indicating higher cognitive control and less spontaneous imaginative thought processes in the generation of effective strategies to regulate an ongoing negative emotional state.
