The neuroscience of creativity is a new and burgeoning area of research. The newness of the field presents a window of opportunity to make the newly founded Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity (this research area's first academic society) a mechanism that coalesces scientists around research priorities with educational relevance. Likewise, there is an opportunity to bring educators and education researchers into the dialogue at a critical early phase so that the growth of creativity neuroscience can be guided by and applied to real-world challenges and aspirations of educating a more creative workforce. From the perspective of the researcher, this meeting will streamline and catalyze progress in the neuroscience of creativity by supporting collaboration, cross-pollination, and reciprocal learning between researchers with related interests. The Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity is founded with a charter of outreach and inclusiveness. Among our major goals is the involvement of women and members of underrepresented minority groups in our meetings and online community, and direct educational outreach. Examples of planned activities to support these goals are the establishment of special travel funds for underrepresented minority students and for teachers of underserved minority students, and special outreach to high schools that serve low-income and minority students in the area where the meeting is held.The proposed meeting of the Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity will be held on March 24th, 2017 in San Francisco, CA as a satellite to the Cognitive Neuroscience Society meeting. The primary objective of the proposed meeting is to establish an inclusive community of scholars and educators seeking to understand and actively leverage the mechanisms of the brain that support creative thinking, teaching, and learning. The Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity is founded in order to build a bridge across a conspicuous gap between creativity researchers and educators working to foster creativity, especially in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields where creative innovation is a key driver of advancements. The proposed conference is critical to establishing the newly founded society. In addition to this over-arching goal, we have identified a set of specific scientific priorities as critical for the productive development of the neuroscience of creativity. The meeting will highlight work that advances these priorities and actively encourage collaboration on these priorities among society members: 1) development of reliability for brain-based measures of creativity; 2) mapping the shared vs. distinct neural networks underlying different forms of creativity; 3) operationalizing key targets in education (especially in STEM fields) for which there is insufficient research about neural bases of relevant creative thinking; 4) identifying neural plasticity that mediates education-based improvements in creativity; 5) developing iterative, reciprocally-adaptive paradigms whereby neuroscience can inform improvements and individualization of educational approaches to fostering creativity; and 6) leveraging brain imaging to guide targeted, hypothesis-driven explorations of neural interventions that have potential to bolster creativity.

创造力的神经科学是一个新的研究领域。该领域的新颖性为使新成立的创造性神经科学学会（该研究领域的第一个学术社会）提供了一种机会窗口，该机制将科学家围绕研究的优先级与教育相关性结合在一起。同样，也有机会在关键的早期阶段将教育工作者和教育研究人员带入对话中，以便可以指导创造力的神经科学的发展并应用于现实世界中的挑战和愿望，以教育更具创造力的劳动力。从研究人员的角度来看，这次会议将通过支持具有相关兴趣的研究人员之间的协作，交叉授粉和相互学习来简化创造力神经科学的进步。创造性神经科学学会是由宣传和包容性的宪章建立的。我们的主要目标之一是妇女和代表不足的少数群体的成员参与我们的会议和在线社区，以及直接的教育宣传。为支持这些目标的计划活动的示例是为代表性不足的少数群体和服务不足的少数群体的老师建立特殊的旅行资金，以及为举行会议的低收入和少数族裔学生服务的高中的特殊宣传。在2017年3月24日，在2017年3月24日，在Sanfant of Sanir of Sanir of Sanir of Sanir Ineriist of Sanir of Sanir of Sanir of Sanir Insimis of Sanir of Sanir of Sanir of Satherimiist of Santer Ca in san filancis Ca And of Santer of Santer of Santer of Sather of Sather of Santer的拟议会议。拟议的会议的主要目标是建立一个包容性的学者和教育工作者社区，试图理解和积极利用支持创造性思维，教学和学习的大脑机制。建立了创造性神经科学的社会，以在创造力研究人员和致力于促进创造力的教育工作者之间建立桥梁，尤其是在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域，在这些教育者中，创造性创新是进步的主要驱动力。拟议的会议对于建立新成立的社会至关重要。除了这个超大的目标外，我们还确定了一组特定的科学优先级对于创造力神经科学的生产性发展至关重要。会议将重点介绍提高这些优先事项的工作，并积极鼓励社会成员之间这些优先事项的合作：1）为基于大脑的创造力衡量的可靠性发展； 2）绘制不同形式的创造力的共享与不同的神经网络； 3）操作教育中的主要目标（尤其是在STEM领域），因此对相关创造性思维的神经基础的研究不足； 4）确定介导基于教育的创造力改善的神经可塑性； 5）开发反复自适应的范式，神经科学可以为促进创造力的教育方法的改进和个性化； 6）利用大脑成像来指导有针对性的，以假设驱动的神经干预措施的探索，这些探索具有增强创造力的潜力。
