  • The Impact of Transcranial Photobiomodulation on the Bilateral Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Enhancing Convergent Thinking and Stroop Test

    Open Access•Javier Peña, Makii Muthalib et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Creative Behavior•2026

    Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) has been employed for cognitive enhancement in healthy individuals. This study aimed to investigate the effects of tPBM applied bilaterally over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on convergent thinking (CT), divergent thinking (DT), and the Stroop test. Additionally, we explored whether Stroop performance mediates the effect of tPBM on creativity. In this double‐blind, between‐subjects study, 56 hea…

  • Effects of Combined tDCS-tRNS Over the Left Prefrontal Cortex on Convergent Thinking After 24 Hours

    Javier Peña, Roger E Beaty et al.•ARTICLE•Creativity Research Journal•2025

    This study aimed to investigate whether combined transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) with the cathode over the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) produce effects on creativity 1-day after being stimulated. In a double-blind, between-subjects design, 54 healthy participants were randomly assigned to either tDCS-tRNS or sham. The tDCS-tR…

  • Enhancement of Divergent Creative Thinking After Transcranial Near-Infrared Photobiomodulation Over the Default Mode Network

    Open Access•Javier Peña, Makii Muthalib et al.•ARTICLE•Creativity Research Journal•2024

    Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) has been used for cognitive enhancement in healthy people. However, its effect on creativity has not been investigated. The default mode network (DMN) is associated with divergent thinking (DT; but not convergent thinking, CT), and also with anxiety, which in turn has been negatively related to creativity. We aimed to use tPBM over the DMN to assess the effect on DT compared to sham. Additionally, we assesse…

  • Enhancing Creativity With Combined Transcranial Direct Current and Random Noise Stimulation of the Left Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex and Inferior Frontal Gyrus

    Open Access•Javier Peña, Makii Muthalib et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Creative Behavior•2023

    Creativity is a fundamental human accomplishment from scientific advances to composing music. The left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) are important metacontrol hubs in flexibility and persistence brain states, respectively. Those hubs are related to divergent thinking, insight problem‐solving, and convergent thinking. In this double‐blind, between‐subjects study, 81 healthy participants were randomly assig…

  • The Effect of Changing the Balance Between Right and Left Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex on Different Creativity Tasks

    Open Access•Javier Peña, Agurne Sampedro et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Creative Behavior•2021

    Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) increases performance in some perceptual tasks. However, little is known about its effect on creativity. Although dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been postulated as an important cortical area related to creativity, the relative role of left and right DLPFC is still unclear. We aimed to compare the effect of anodal left/cathodal right (L + R−) and cathodal left/anodal right (L − R+) tRNS over…

  • Cross-Validation of Predictive Equation for Cardiorespiratory Fitness by Modified Shuttle Walk Test in Adults with Schizophrenia

    Open Access•Mikel Tous‐Espelosin, Mikel Tous-Espelosin et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021

    Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) can be direct or estimated from different field tests. The Modified Shuttle Walk Test (MSWT) is suitable for all levels of function, allowing a peak response to be elicited. Therefore, we aimed (1) to validate the equation presented in the original study by Singh et al. for evaluating the relationship between MSWT with peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak ) in adults with schizophrenia (SZ), (2) to develop a new equation f…
