Northeastern University received a $527,350 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year award will support research activities to better understand the relationship between creativity, innovation, and expectancy violations. Researchers will study participants creating fictional stories and melodies in response to music cues. Natural language processing and music information retrieval tools will analyze the outputs for uniqueness and expectation-defying features. Electroencephalography will also be used to examine neural responses to expectancy violations and relate them to measures of creativity. Outreach activities are planned with local arts organizations to engage underrepresented students in neuroscience, psychology, and music. The research aims to develop a scientific model of how violations of expectations contribute to creative outputs and shape knowledge of fostering human innovation potential.
