Institute for creativity research

The Institute for Creativity Research (ICR) was founded in 1995 as a semi-independent research center for studying and affecting how the brain produces original thought. The ICR is housed within the Russian research center Psychotechnology Research Institute in Moscow.

Headed by the Swedish neuropsychologist Lars Ericksson[1] since 1997, the ICR bases its research on transcranial magnetic stimulation methods. The ICR is notable for having developed an electromagnetic stimulation cap[2]prototype to increase the brain's creative capabilities.
