N/NY-RE6189 - A Revitalized Synthesis: Art Therapy, Neuroscience and Mobile Brain-Body Imaging

Description

In this session we will discuss the trans-disciplinary research on how brain science and artistic processes inform one another to support the overall health and amelioration of disease. Studying the biological basis of creative arts and neuroscience through the use of Brain-Computer Interface and Mobile Brain-Body Imaging (MoBI) techniques will promote a greater understanding for the capacities of art therapy to be considered an effective and data-driven medical and mental health profession

Learning Objectives

Define Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) and Mobile Brain-Body Imaging (MoBI)
Identify three ways that advanced neuroimaging can be used as a tool in research on the brain and art therapy
Identify three challenges with using neuroimaging technology in art therapy research
