ES EL ESTUDIO DE cómo reacciona el cerebro ante la creación y la contemplación artísticas. Su objetivo es explicar cómo se procesa el arte en el cerebro de quienes lo admiran y qué ocurre en el cerebro del artista mientras crea. El neurobiólogo Semir Zeki fue uno de los pioneros en los estudios en esta área.Semir evaluó la observación de pinturas sometiendo a los participantes a escáneres cerebrales (es decir, imágenes computarizadas de sus cerebros). Como conclusión, se pudo observar que, al contemplar una obra de arte que consideraban bella, aumentaba el flujo sanguíneo en la zona del cerebro relacionada con el placer, equivalente a mirar a un ser querido.Además, el artista también recibe varios beneficios, como una mayor sensación de relajación, un mayor bienestar psicosocial, y una mejora significativa de la conectividad cerebral y de las habilidades motoras. ¡Cuántas cosas buenas!, ¿eh?Dios concedió la capacidad artística a algunos de sus hijos para que aplicaran estos dones en la construcción del santuario. Lo vemos en el versículo bíblico de hoy. Además de producir algo grandioso, los obreros también se vieron beneficiados al utilizar los dones que recibieron.TODOS TENEMOS DONES DADOS POR DIOS y deben ser usados para su gloria. Siempre que aplicamos o buscamos desarrollar nuevas habilidades para dedicarlas a la obra de Dios, recibimos muchas bendiciones. Dedica tus dones a Dios, y serás feliz al ver el resultado del trabajo que el Gran Artista te inspirará y te permitirá hacer.

Over our 4 seasons we have focused on “Dialogues on DATA: Design Architecture, Technology and the Arts”. NXTLVL features provocateurs for whom disruption and transformation are a way of engaging in work and play every day.They include leading scientists, artists, musicians, architects, entertainers and story tellers whose research, exploration and built work brings new understanding of the impact and relevance of place-making to the world. On the show, we focus on what's now and what's next.*         *         *         *         *         *         *In this episode we talk about the power of design and its influence on well-being with the Founder and CEO of Studio Elsewhere, Mirelle Phillips. Mirelle and her team collaborate with various medical institutions to create environments that support patients, their families and healthcare workers in the journey to recovery and well-being.Most of us have had the experience of going to a doctor's office or dentist or hospital or some sort of medical facility and having to wait. Some of us may even have spent a night in a temporary bed hooked up to a machine reading out our vital statistics and a team of nurses, doctors and specialists busying around us trying to understand what was wrong and how to make it right. Some of us might have even spent time lying on that bed in a hallway before a room was available, staring up at a ceiling at a large rectangular fluorescent light, an acoustic tile ceiling and a rather drab overall interior.Some of us might have even been a patient with a long term stay in a medical facility or had to return regularly for treatments for our particular condition.Or some of us may have been caregivers or family members who accompanied our loved ones to the medical facility or care for them daily at home. And then there are the health care workers themselves who over the past few years have caried an extraordinary burden as frontline workers during the COVID pandemic that, during the early phases, put crushing pressure on the medical system worldwide. Whether we are a patient, a caregiver or healthcare worker, environments designed for supporting the care and recovery journey affect the experience along the path. The design of healthcare environments influence things like recovery time, they can mitigate stress, anxiety and fear and provide a sense of agency for those who feel like their bodies, and lives, are no longer in their control.Our minds and bodies can be deeply affected by buildings. Well maybe I need to refine that, not putting all the pressure on the built places. The environments we inhabit, natural or human made, affect us. A whole field of cognitive science has emerged that recognizes the influence hat the environment has on our mind-body state call neuroaesthetics.Neuroesthetics is a term coined by Semir Zeki in 1999[3]. A more formal definition was arrived at in the early 2000's as the scientific study of the neural bases for the contemplation and creation of a work of art.[4]It doesn't just apply to what is happening in the brain while looking at a piece of art. Among other things, it finds applications to music, dance, poetry, music, places and buildings. What neuroesthetics does is it uses neuroscience to explain and understand the aesthetic experiences at the neurological level and helps us understand the relationship to how we feel and what we experience through the arts and architecture.  Books like “Welcome to Your World: How the Built Environment Shapes Our Lives” by Sarah Williams Goldhagen and “Your Brain on Art” by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross are great examples of recent publications that help unpack how the environments we live in, and the art, music, dances, literature influences us.On the show I have talked about ontological design – the idea that what we design designs us back. Neural connections in our brains are formed, reinforced or dismantled through a process of neuroplasticity by the experiences we have. Our environments shape us on a neurological level. Research is quite definitive about the idea that the environment has the capacity to help us recover from illness faster or make us perhaps diminish well-being.And so the question arises…if we know that the environment has this profound effect on our minds and bodies, why is so much of what is built around us so banal?This question goes beyond thinking about sustainability in design and building practice – though this is a critical consideration of addressing issues of global warming. Sustainable design practice should be a baseline for anything we build or manufacture.What if places we built engaged the mind-body with a profound understanding of the impact of art, music, nature, and design, the study of neuroaesthetics?If we did, we would have many more of the projects that Mirelle Phillips and Studio Elsewhere have created over the past few years.Studio Elsewhere uses evidence-based and data-driven practices to develop virtual and physical interventions that promote brain health.

She leads a team of designers and digital technology mavens developing bio-experiential technology to promote behavioural, cognitive, and social health. While many of the application of Studio Elswhere's work supports the well-being of patients, caregivers and healthcare workers, I can imagine a day when these big ideas find enormously impactful applications in the built environment across education, corporate interiors, retail, hospitality and almost every other place where brains and buildings connect. ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

Did you know that the items you choose to surround yourself with have a direct impact on your happiness AND your productivity? Sure, you may naturally feel more content when wrapped up in a cozy blanket or holding your favorite mug. But, did you know that the items you find most comforting and beautiful produce visible changes in your brain?   On this week's #straightfromcait episode, I share findings from three neuroscience studies showing the power of visually appealing objects to shape our brain. Learn about the changes in our brain that occur when we are under large amounts of stress and how we can use our environment to counteract these negative outcomes in a meaningful way.   If you have an everyday object that you find particularly beautiful or that adds to your sense of contentment when you are in a given space, I'd love to hear from you.

This week on The Let Yourself Sparkle Podcast, we talk about the connection between art and happiness. Research tells us that greater creativity breeds greater happiness and that the creative process alone is a source of joy for a lot of people. It was discovered by neuro-biologist Semir Zeki, at the University of London, that even [...] The post Art Saved My Life appeared first on Let Yourself Sparkle.

In diretta dal National Geographic Festival delle Scienze con Semir Zeki , Giovanni Chimienti

Semir Zeki speaks on the visual system of the human brain and how it can give rise to aesthetic experiences.

Episode 2 is about creativity, because Arts should be part of the mental health toolkit. The Arts can help those suffering from anxiety, Studies have found those who regularly appreciate art are happier and calmer. The link between art and health has been established for many years. Even back in the 19th century, Florence Nightingale recognised more quickly. But, it seems, there's even more to it. Research by Semir Zeki, UCL prof. of neuroesthetics, suggests enjoying great works of art triggers the same part of your brain as falling in love. While enjoying a painting, you receive a surge in levels of the feel - good hormone, dopamine, resulting in feelings of intense pleasure.

Semir Zeki gives a presentation entitled; The Neurobiology of Beauty, and Gerhard Lauer gives a talk entitled, Is there an Aesthetic Experience in this Experiment? The Chair is Professor Andrew Parker.

Uno dei massimi neuroscienziati al mondo, pioniere e fondatore della disciplina definita neuroestetica, che indaga sulla relazione tra il funzionamento del cervello e la rappresentazione artistica, parlerà, anche per immagini, del rapporto fra arte, bellezza, desiderio e amore, dall'inedito punto di vista delle neuroscienze, che Zeki ama spiegare con le parole di Oscar Wilde “Venisti a me per imparare il Piacere della Vita e il Piacere dell'Arte. Forse sono stato scelto per insegnarti qualcosa di più splendido: il significato del Dolore, e la sua bellezza”

Can art exist without human observers? Or, is art wholly an expression of the unique capacities of the human brain? On this program, Prof. Semir Zeki discussed how the human brain could give rise to artistic expression.

Melvyn Bragg investigates the creatives forces of the imagination. Immanuel Kant said, "Imagination is a blind but indispensable function of the soul without which we should have no knowledge whatever but of which we are scarcely even conscious". Imagination has been the companion of artists, scientists, leaders and visionaries but what exactly is it? When did human beings first develop an imagination and why? How does it relate to creativity and what evolutionary function does creativity have? And is it possible to know whether our brains' capacity for imagination is still evolving? With Dr Susan Stuart, Lecturer in Philosophy of Mind at the University of Glasgow; Steven Mithen, Professor of Early Prehistory at the University of Reading; Semir Zeki, Professor of Neurobiology at the University of London and author of Inner Vision: An Exploration of Art and the Brain.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss pain; something of which everyone has an individual experience. What causes it, how do we cope with it, what mechanisms are involved, what is the traditional view of pain and how is that being challenged today? Do we experience pain in the same way and how is emotional pain different from physical pain? What can our experience of pain tell us about ourselves and human consciousness? Is each individual human experience unique or are there experiences we can say apply across all of human consciousness? Is science a blunt instrument for examining subjective experience?With Patrick Wall, Professor of Physiology at St Thomas' Hospital, London and author of Pain: The Science of Suffering; Semir Zeki, Professor of Neurobiology at University College, London.
