Measuring Brain Signals to Evaluate the Role of Creativity in Interceptive Human Movement

Abstract

Human movement involves executive control and cognition. Elite sports require development of this expertise together with the physical conditioning. This research explores the role of creativity in developing mental skills in sports from a computational neuroscience perspective. Future direction of the research will aim to study the role of creativity on performance in the case of cricket batting. Here we present a review of the methods and the preliminary results on brain source estimation analysis on a number of sample dataset. A roadmap for future theoretical and experimental evaluation procedure is discussed as well.
