Bringing art and science together
About Us
The Brain on Arts Program is supported in part by the National Science Foundation award BCS 1533691, NSF IUCRC BRAIN award CNS-1650536 and the Laboratory for Noninvasive Brain-Machine Interface Systems, and it is led by engineering professor Jose Luis Contreras-Vidal — to study connections between the brain and creativity, expression, and the perception of art (neuroaesthetics), and to develop artistic brain-computer interfaces and neuromodulation approaches based on artistic stimuli (dance, music, literature, visual art, etc.) to understand the brain in action and in context and design novel personalized art therapy interventions to treat neurological conditions, mental illness and other disabling conditions.
