Beschreibung

This paper presents results from an experiment to determine brain activation differences between problem-solving and designing of mechanical engineers. The study adopted and extended the tasks described in a prior fMRI study of design cognition and measured brain activation using EEG. The Experiment consists of multiple tasks: problem-solving, basic design and open design using a tangible interface. Statistical analyses indicate increased activation when designing compared to problem-solving.
