Can electric pulses to the brain boost your creativity?

 I found this article interesting and compelling. We as humans have a natural tendency toward creativity. I don't know if robots, androids, or any other AI will be able to have this skill. I found the article while "surfing" through technology related sites. It also reinforced the ideas of Dr. George Siemens and his theory of Connectivism and networking, from a neural level, to a concept level, and finally, a social level. It was an interesting connection.

ScienceNordic journalist Anne Rinnggard gave it a try. She describes what she felt as she went through the process. A helmet is put on the head and a pulse of electricity goes through the brain. Friis-Olivarious is a brain scientist, who for the past ten years has studied what happens in the brain when we are creative. He and his colleague, Balder Onarheim, who lectures in industrial design, have developed a device that "supposedly stimulates creativity by shocking the brain with two milliamps of current," (Rinnggard, 2016). The device is worn like a helmet (there are pictures of the researchers and device in the article). When the current is turned up, creativity is stimulated, and when it is turned down, concentration is stimulated. 

Friis-Olivarious explains where the electrodes are placed and says that the current does not change the brain at all, it just augments a natural process. The brain's billions of nerve cells, neurons, are constantly firing and sending electric pulses to one another. 

The article goes on to talk more about how the process works and points out some benefits to the technology and research. Of course there are skeptics. These scientists will continue to explore the possibilities and evaluate the process.
