I'm not sure whether I consider the 1st sentence ("Neuroscientists...are accompanied by an increase of theta brain waves") as causal relation or as conditional reasoning sentence.
Please explain which one is right.
Thanks,

Thanks for your question, @Batman. The first sentence of this stimulus ("Neuroscientists have found that states of profound creativity are accompanied by an increase of theta brain waves, which occur in many regions of the brain, including the hippocampus.") is neither a causal nor a conditional reasoning sentence. Rather, it merely establishes a correlation--that two things seem to be occurring together. It is logically flawed to assume that a correlation implies a causal relationship.
Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
