Abstract

The Ventral Pathway (VP) and Dorsal Pathway (DP) are responsible for identifying (what) and localising (where) objects in 3D space. These pathways project integrated information into the frontal (FC) and the prefrontal (PF) cortices making possible for humans not only to interact with objects but also express motivations and emotions directly or indirectly associated with the actions they perform with objects. The neural implications of these pathways were examined in a sample of healthy participants (\text{n}= 30) aged 22 years old while invited to create an installation using a set of common (CO) and uncommon objects (UO) in augmented reality (AR). All participants were equipped with a 32 channels EEG, a frequency analysis of brain waves has been performed. The results have shown an alpha power increase in the ventral pathway when UO were involved in the creative task. This finding is attributed to a greater need to attend the UO as no representation of them exists in the VP. Increased theta and delta powers were observed in the FC when creating an installation with UO, indicating more higher-order functioning involving emotion and motivation. Engaging multimodal complex brain areas, it seems that creativity in augmented reality requires similar brain patterns as in real world.
