CREATIVITY AND NEURAL CONNECTIONS IN THE ARTISTIC CREATION PROCESS
CREATIVITY AND NEURAL CONNECTIONS IN THE ARTISTIC CREATION PROCESS

Summary/Abstract: The topics addressed in this article stem from the interdisciplinary research project “Neuroscience, Creativity – Neural Connections in Artistic Creation,” initiated by the Institute for Multidisciplinary Research in Art at the “George Enescu” National University of Arts in Iași. These topics have been discussed by experts in the medical and artistic fields during a conference organized in collaboration with “Grigore T. Popa” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Iași and the “I. I. Mironescu” Cultural Center. We aim for an interdisciplinary approach, which we consider relevant and of interest, focusing on understanding how the brain functions and the intricate neural networks engaged during the creative process, seen as the key to developing and enhancing creativity. Additionally, within the complex scope of this research theme, we will highlight several beneficial effects of art on individual and collective health. Art serves as an alternative energy source for the brain, stimulating connections between mental and physical processes.
