Speech-Induced Suppression During Natural Dialogues

During human communication, the brain processes self-generated speech and others’ speech differently, a phenomenon known as the Speech-Induced Suppression (SIS) mechanism. This mechanism involves the motor efference copy in the perception pathway, functioning similar to an “echo” that helps filter internally generated signals to avoid confusing the...

An EEG Study on Artistic and Engineering Mindsets in Students in Creative Processes

A Study on EEG Activities in Artistic and Engineering Thinking during the Creative Process Background and Research Motivation Creativity is universally regarded as the ability to imagine new and valuable things.
