It refered to individual’s creativity in/on arts, which could produce novel and unique products with aesthetic value. Scientific creativity and it both belonged to individual creativity. The review focused on human brain basis of artistic creativity. Existing human brain lesion and imaging studies have contributed to it. These studies indicated that it had a close contract with the brain’s frontal lobe, temporal lobe and temporal-parietal cortex. Studies in the future should seem to investigate creativity systematically and integrally, and also design more comparable experiments and artistic creativity tasks to detect artistic creativity, which based on our high temporal and high spatial solutions technologies.

Key words: artistic creativity, brain lesion studies, neural basis, scientific creativity, cognitive neuroscience
