About Transdisciplinary Collaborations in Neuroscience, Arts and Related Therapeutics

This collection is now closed to submissions.

This is a translational and transdisciplinary collection at the interface of neuroscience, arts and related therapeutics. Our aim is to accelerate collaborative research using contemporary neuroimaging technology and biological/physiological measures to advance the potentials for arts-based interventions to enhance psychological health and wellbeing across clinical health populations.

The collection seeks to disseminate papers on the translational capacities of technology to advance the understanding of theory, practice and research across disciplines that includes strengths, limitations and potentials for cross-cultural generalizability.

Advancing transdisciplinary collaboration to illuminate the role of meaning-making across the arts and sciences requires the observations of educators, artists, and creative arts therapists alongside the research and observations of colleagues in the experimental psychologies and neurosciences.

We welcome a wide range of theoretical, conceptual and methodological approaches to understand and investigate how perceptual, cognitive, emotional, and motor systems are engaged when the arts are used therapeutically to support mental health and the amelioration of disease. Papers could include case studies, data notes, method articles, opinion articles, and study protocols, as well as research articles and reviews.

Keywords: Creative arts therapies, Art therapy, Art based interventions, Psychotherapy, Mechanistic studies, Neuroaesthetics, Translational science, Neuroimaging, Brain-computer interface, Mobile brain-body imaging (MoBI), Expressive Therapies Continuum, The bodymind model
