When arts enliven our senses. The brain's response is wild
The
more
we
immerse
ourselves
in
arts
and
aesthetics
the
healthier
and
happier
we
become.
What is NeuroArts?

Neuroarts
is
the
study
of
how
the
arts
and
aesthetic
experiences
measurably
change
the
body,
brain,
and
behavior-
and
how
this
knowledge
is
translated
into
practices
that
advance
health,
wellbeing
and
learning.

Researchers
are
discovering
the
arts
alter
a
complex
physiological
network
of
interconnected
systems—
including
neural
circuitry,
circulatory,
respiratory,
immune
and
endocrine
and
psychological
like
nothing
else.

We wrote this book for everyone

For
those
who
have
had
little
experience
with
the
arts
and
sciences,
and
for
people
who
are
in
these
fields.
Through
compelling
stories
we
share
the
research
and
the
impact
of
the
arts
in
our
lives.

We
hope
it
will
enrich
and
inspire
you,
your
family,
colleagues
and
community.

Neuroarts is about enlivening your senses

Coming
to
life
through
vision,
touch,
smell,
color,
movement
and
sound
