New in CRJ: a thoughtful exchange on Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations. Brandt (2022) sees the work as an example of divergent thinking; Gittelman & Weisberg (2025) argue for a broader account emphasizing strategy and executive processes.

🎶 New paper 🚨: Perceiving Creativity in Novel Musical Sequences: An EEG Study.
Using a sequencer in the non-traditional Bohlen Pierce Scale, we show that perceived creativity correlates with EEG neural synchronization at the note rate and harmonics, and with sequence-level information metrics

We’re saddened by the loss of two giants in our field: Bob Bilder and Jonny Smallwood. Their work reshaped how we understand creativity, imagination, and the wandering mind. Their impact on science and on the people they mentored will continue to guide us. Our thoughts are with their loved ones. 💙

So grateful to @tsfnc.bsky.social for the dissertation award (handed to me by my forever mentor and pal @roger-beaty.bsky.social), for the vibrant community, and for picking me to co-chair next year's meeting in Philly! I can't wait to welcome my favorite society to celebrate all things creativity ❤️
