          Abstract

          What is the relationship between the creative process and cognition and perception? Lynda Loughnane, a master’s student in Art and Process in Crawford College of Art and Design, Cork, Ireland interviewed Dr Andrew P. Allen about the subject. Areas covered include mindfulness, Type 1 and Type 2 thinking, stage theories of creativity, engagement with the art process and the artwork, phenomenology and consciousness with and without self report. The interview was constructed to cover a wide range of subject matter, so as to gather as much information as possible in layman's language about the cognitive process in relation to creativity and interaction with art.

          The neuroscience of mindfulness meditation.

          Yi-Yuan Tang, Britta K. Hölzel, Michael I. Posner (2015)
          Research over the past two decades broadly supports the claim that mindfulness meditation - practiced widely for the reduction of stress and promotion of health - exerts beneficial effects on physical and mental health, and cognitive performance. Recent neuroimaging studies have begun to uncover the brain areas and networks that mediate these positive effects. However, the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear, and it is apparent that more methodologically rigorous studies are required if we are to gain a full understanding of the neuronal and molecular bases of the changes in the brain that accompany mindfulness meditation.

              No-Report Paradigms: Extracting the True Neural Correlates of Consciousness.

              Naotsugu Tsuchiya, Melanie Wilke, Stefan Frässle … (2015)
              The goal of consciousness research is to reveal the neural basis of phenomenal experience. To study phenomenology, experimenters seem obliged to ask reports from the subjects to ascertain what they experience. However, we argue that the requirement of reports has biased the search for the neural correlates of consciousness over the past decades. More recent studies attempt to dissociate neural activity that gives rise to consciousness from the activity that enables the report; in particular, no-report paradigms have been utilized to study conscious experience in the full absence of any report. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of report-based and no-report paradigms, and ask how these jointly bring us closer to understanding the true neural basis of consciousness.

                Bio :

                Dr Andrew P. Allen is a senior postdoctoral researcher with the Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioural Science and the APC Microbiome Institute. His postdoctoral work has examined the effects of acute tryptophan depletion on cognition in irritable bowel syndrome, biomarkers of interventions for treatment-resistant depression and the impact of probiotics on stress and cognition. In addition to these areas, Dr Allen's current research is examining the impact of interventions for caregiver stress, and associated impact on relevant biomarkers and the gut microbiota.

                Lynda Loughnane:
                Bio :

                Lynda Loughnane is a master’s student in Art and Process with Crawford College of Art and Design, CIT, Cork, Ireland. She is interested in aspects of perception and cognition and how these apply to the artistic process. In her work, she is enticed by the intangibility of light and the malleability of perception. She explores ephemeral elements such as light, time and shifting understandings of reality. For Lynda, the creative process is a means to work through difficult postulates such as quantum theories and the interconnection of all the forces of existence, as well as questioning the very nature of perception.
