This lecture will consider the topic of neuroaesthetics, delving into how our brains perceive and process artistic experiences and the significant benefits this has for our health. We will explore the latest research demonstrating how engagement with enjoyable activities such as the arts can enhance emotional wellbeing, reduce stress, and improve cognitive function. Additionally, we will discuss the therapeutic applications of the arts in institutional settings, showcasing how creative pursuits can promote healing, resilience, and a sense of cohesion. By examining the neural underpinnings of our appreciation for beauty and aesthetics, this lecture aims to underscore the profound impact the arts can have on our overall health and quality of life.
