On 2023-05-12, I asked Bard "what is the evidence that meditation boosts creativity, please name the specific studies that i can find on Google Scholar?"

There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that meditation can boost creativity. A 2018 study published in the journal 

 found that people who practiced mindfulness meditation for just 10 minutes a day for eight weeks showed significant improvements in creativity, as measured by tests of divergent thinking and problem-solving.

 in 2017, found that people who practiced loving-kindness meditation for just 20 minutes a day for four weeks showed significant improvements in creativity, as measured by tests of divergent thinking, convergent thinking, and idea generation.

These studies suggest that meditation can help to improve creativity by increasing focus, attention, and divergent thinking. Meditation can also help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can interfere with creativity.

Here are some specific studies that you can find on Google Scholar:

These studies provide some evidence that meditation can boost creativity. However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and to determine the optimal length and frequency of meditation practice for maximizing creativity.

Searching for the study titles, including quotes (for exact match) I got no matching studies on 

On July 1 I will repeat the prompt and exact match search (up to 3). If 

 of the titles fails to return an hit with a paper's 

, this will resolve to YES (ie, it is still providing inaccurate study names). If the first Bard reply doesn't supply study names, I will try followup prompts 5 times before resolving NA.

This seems pretty objective to resolve, but I won't bet because I bet too much anyway and should learn some self control.
