"Concentrative Meditation Influences Creativity by Increasing Cognitive Flexibility" by Barbara C. N. Müller, Anastasija Gerasimova, and Simone M. RitterSummaryThis paper explores how meditation influences creativity, specifically investigating whether different styles, mindfulness (MM) and concentrative (CM), have distinct effects. Through an experiment involving experienced practitioners, the researchers measured creativity and cognitive flexibility before and after a meditation session. The findings indicate that meditation, in general, enhances creative performance, but notably, only concentrative meditation was found to increase cognitive flexibility, suggesting this mechanism might be key to CM's impact on creativity.
