The measurement of craving in cocaine patients using the Minnesota Cocaine Craving Scale.
Comprehensive psychiatry, 1991Co-Authors: James A. Halikas, Kenneth L. Kuhn, Ross D. Crosby, Gregory A. Carlson, Frederick CreaAbstract:Abstract Drug craving is an irresistible urge that compels drug-seeking behavior, and which often accounts for relapse among treated cocaine users. A cocaine craving scale that has proven reliable and practical in clinical treatment research with cocaine-using subjects is presented. It assesses intensity, frequency, and duration of this entirely Subjective Phenomenon. Data from 234 scales completed by 35 patients in treatment showed that craving for cocaine was of variable intensity, experienced relatively few times per day (zero to two), and of short duration (

Creativity as action: findings from five creative domains
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013Co-Authors: Vlad Glaveanu, Todd Lubart, Nathalie Bonnardel, Marion Botella, Pierre-marc De Biaisi, Myriam Desainte-catherine, Asta Georgsdottir, Katell Guillou, Gyorgy Kurtag, Christophe MouchiroudAbstract:The present paper outlines an action theory of creativity and substantiates this approach by investigating creative expression in five different domains. We propose an action framework for the analysis of creative acts built on the assumption that creativity is a relational, inter-Subjective Phenomenon. This framework, drawing extensively from the work of Dewey (1934) on art as experience, is used to derive a coding frame for the analysis of interview material. The article reports findings from the analysis of 60 interviews with recognized French creators in five creative domains: art, design, science, scriptwriting, and music. Results point to complex models of action and interaction specific for each domain and also to interesting patterns of similarity and differences between domains. These findings highlight the fact that creative action takes place not " inside " individual creators but " in between " actors and their environment. Implications for the field of educational psychology are discussed.

Multivariate pattern analysis of fMRI data for imaginary and real colours in grapheme-colour synaesthesia
European Journal of Neuroscience, 2020Co-Authors: Mathieu Ruiz, Michel Dojat, Jean-michel HupéAbstract:Grapheme–colour synaesthesia is a Subjective Phenomenon related to perception and imagination, in which some people involuntarily but systematically associate specific, idiosyncratic colours to achromatic letters or digits. Its investigation is relevant to unravel the neural correlates of colour perception in isolation from low‐level neural processing of spectral components, as well as the neural correlates of imagination by being able to reliably trigger imaginary colour experiences. However, functional MRI studies using univariate analyses failed to provide univocal evidence of the activation of the “colour network” by synaesthesia. Applying multivariate (multivoxel) pattern analysis (MVPA) on 20 synaesthetes and 20 control participants, we tested whether the neural processing of real colours (concentric rings) and synaesthetic colours (black graphemes) shared patterns of activations. Region of interest analyses in retinotopically and anatomically defined visual areas revealed neither evidence of shared circuits for real and synaesthetic colour processing, nor processing difference between synaesthetes and controls. We also found no correlation with individual experiences, characterised by measuring the strength of synaesthetic associations. The whole brain searchlight analysis led to similar results. We conclude that revealing the neural coding of the synaesthetic experience of colours is a hard task which requires the improvement of our current methodology: for example involving more individuals and achieving higher MR signal to noise ratio and spatial resolution. So far, we have not found any evidence of the involvement of the cortical colour network in the Subjective experience of synaesthetic colours.
