New study finds people are more creative after waking from the earliest stage of sleep MIT SciReports
We used Dormio to enact a serial auditory incubation of the theme “tree.” The data collected on the efficacy of the Dormio dream incubation in these participants have been previously reported, while all data related to post-sleep creativity task performance are reported for the first time here. All participants engaged in a 45-min experimental period in which protocols differed based on their assigned state and condition.
Throughout the 45-min experimental period, experimenters remained in the room with the participant. Experimenters were out of sight, as participants assigned to sleep wore an eye mask and participants assigned to stay awake were instructed to have their eyes closed. Following the experimental period and completion of the creativity tasks, we also collected written reports from participants about their mentation during the experimental period .
“thinking about how leaves are the eyes, roots are like lips, and the different senses trees must have”Due to its highly context-dependent nature, constructing a single definition or assessment of creativity has proven to be a major challenge for the sciences. In many cases, studies have used just one assessment tool, leading to results constrained in their real-world relevance.
