338. Your Brain on Art with Co-Authors Ivy Ross and Susan Magsamen

In this episode, Ivy Ross and Susan Magsamen, co-authors of "Your Brain on Art," share their insights on the emerging field of neuroarts. They discuss how the arts and aesthetic experiences can measurably change the brain, body, and behavior, and how this knowledge can be translated into practices that advance health, well-being, learning, and community development. They explore the connection between nature and neuroaesthetics, and how indigenous cultures have historically integrated arts into their way of life. They also emphasize the importance of agency and self-judgment in engaging in the arts for mental well-being. Join the conversation to learn how creativity can enhance our lives and amplify our potential, regardless of our artistic abilities.
