There is goose egg more than healing than seeing something in a different low-cal and grander than your own being.~Anantha Shekhar, MD

Information technology was with agile minds and a collaborative spirit that the Schools of Art, Medicine, Engineering, Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Nursing, Informatics and Liberal Arts came together to host the international symposium 21st Century Smashing Conversations in Neuroscience, Fine art and Related Therapeutics at Indiana Academy– Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) in April. The premise of the symposium was to bring together campus faculty, healthcare professionals, community members, and thought leaders from effectually the world, to nowadays insights and engage in transdisciplinary dialogue on how encephalon science and artistic processes inform one another with the shared vision that the intersection of art and science can support the overall health and amelioration of disease for patients, their caregivers, families and friends.

The Not bad Conversations Symposium was an thought built-in after attending a conference last summer on Mobile Encephalon-Body Imaging and the Neuroscience of Creativity and Innovation (August, 2016). I wanted to expand the thoughtful dialogue that took identify and explore the various languages that are used to translate and make accessible our limitless ways of knowing in efforts to help people through inquiry and clinical practice.

Presenters shared their insights and expertise inside 3 wide ranging tracks that each had a designated Keynote speaker: (1) Neuroaesthetics; Anjan Chatterjee, MD; (2) Creativity and Consciousness; Arne Dietrich, PhD; and (3) Mobile Brain-Body Imaging; Klaus Gramann, PhD. A panel was formed for each track and was moderated past Jill Ditmire from WFYI radio, who engaged the audition with interactive dialogue that explored a range of subjects. The subjects included how creativity and the artistic arts therapies are influenced by and relate to trauma and illness, medico preparation, consciousness and humanism, and neuroscience and brain imaging. Encounter this website for details on presentation topics and proceedings of the podcast soon to be released. Primary themes included the nature of true collaborations and how these can be defined equally the power to look at the aforementioned phenomena from dissimilar angles.

The symposium provided a space for participants to engage in thoughtful, interactive conversations from divergent perspectives about what is "real" and what is assumed. Such dialogue is not all that common in science, medicine, or the arts. Embracing an information commutation is crucial if we want to address the Leviathan unknown of neurological disease, human health and illness, and the plagues of guild in general.

Neuroscientists and creative arts therapists were at the nucleus of the many "atoms of thought," forming alliances to promote a multi-modal approach to healing as essential in healthcare. Dr. Arne Dietrich informed the states that, "neuroscientists are far more attentive [than nearly others] almost what neuroscience has to offer," and added that a cogent neuroscience cannot exist without a adept psychology. This perspective provides an opening for the creative arts therapies to inform the understanding of both implicit and explicit systems through the use of symbolic knowledge and expression. An additional tangible outcome of the symposium is the necessary inclusion of hard-cadre scientific discipline to drive the methodologies that volition assist creative arts therapies professionals to conduct enquiry that will increase the evidence base, including randomized command trials that are necessary in contemporary medical practice.

Anjan Chatterjee, MD, friend of art therapy and renowned trailblazer in neuroaesthetics, described the field of developmental aesthetics equally broad-open territory for study. He explained how visual systems work together to change our perceptions of reality, which pushes us to consider an ontology of image germination. He reminded us that Alzheimer's is the "big dog" of degenerative illness and, edifice upon his previous work with art therapist Angel Duncan and Neurologist Bree Chancellor, Dr. Chatterjee shared the vision for art therapy to run with the large dogs of science in the efforts to address the predicted dramatic increases in Alzheimer's disease as the United states of america population ages.

Finally, Pioneer Prof. Dr. Klaus Gramann, Cognitive Psychologist and specialist in Mobile Encephalon-Body Imaging (MoBI), shed light on the use of electroencephalogram (EEG) technology in inquiry. While it remains unclear as to whether the EEG is the most effective ways to understanding creative processes in the brain, the majority of physiological studies in art therapy have used EEG as the primary method of data drove. Gramann's grasp of embodied cognition and the ability to apply advanced technology to map brain processes while moving and making art and music brings u.s. the closest we have come up to harnessing the liminal space of neurosciences and arts. The audience saturday in awe every bit we were introduced to MoBI and how it may impact future research.

In sum, there is an unabridged world waiting for collaborative invention that answers a scientific problem with the dialectical and magic synthesis of scientific discipline with creative expression. Amidst the many Peachy Conversations, perhaps the most compelling contribution came from an audience member, a patient at the IU Neuroscience Heart. He brought the place to the ground with a heartfelt and pleading testimony to the ability of fine art therapy and the absolute truth that it is the human relationship that heals.
