Advancing the Science of Arts, Health, and Wellbeing through NeuroArts

Scientific studies increasingly confirm what human beings across cultures and throughout time have long recognized: we are wired for art.
 

The International Arts + Mind Lab Center for Applied Neuroaesthetics (IAM Lab), a multidisciplinary research-to-practice initiative from the Pedersen Brain Science Institute at Johns Hopkins University, is hosting a dynamic discussion about how the arts and aesthetic experiences can measurably change the body, brain, and behavior. Participating in the arts can improve physical and mental health and also help individuals and communities flourish. Join IAM Lab Founder and Executive Director Susan Magsamen in conversation with renowned soprano Renée Fleming, Artistic Advisor for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Co-Chair of the NeuroArts Blueprint, and Co-Founder of the Sound Health Network, and Dr. Nina Kraus, Neurobiologist and Director of the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University.
