| Research Abstract |
In everyday life, we apply the process of insight to problems that are difficult to solve at first glance or that we perceive as ambiguous. What are the brain dynamics underlying the moment of insight, especially the functional connectivity? To elucidate the neural mechanism of the insight process, we recorded electroencephalograms while subjects were presented with hidden figures. The analysis of the PDC demonstrates the information flow from the left to the right temporal region in the beta range. Our analysis reveals the temporal flow of neural processing during disambiguation for hidden figures.
