Start your new year with art in mind or with your mind in art. Your Brain in Art: The Neural Circuits of Creativity and Emotion

Was Jackson Pollock’s creative process affected by his psychological conditions? How do movie soundtracks move us so deeply, and what is the impact of different art forms on our brain and emotions?

In this thought-provoking conversation, psychiatrists and neuroaesthetics experts Dr. José Paulo Fiks and Dr. Andres Santos Jr. explore the intricate relationship between art and the brain, how music, performance, visual, and decorative arts stimulate our neural pathways, influence our emotional states, and shape our perception of the world.

From the artist’s side, the discussion examines how creativity emerges, how stories, memories, and emotions are transformed into form, rhythm, and color to provoke reactions and invite reflection. From the viewer’s perspective, it delves into the science behind aesthetic experience: what happens in our brain when we are captivated, comforted, or challenged by art.

Blending insights from psychiatry, neuroscience, and artistic practice, Your Brain in Art invites us to reflect on creativity as a biological dialogue — a shared language that connects minds and emotions through the universal power of artistic expression.

Free and open to the public — all are welcome!
