“…In recent years, research and publications on fNIRS brain imaging are growing [7]. However, most of are based on clinical aspect of the fNIRS system [2]- [5], [8], [16], [19], [20], data analysis [39], [42], [43] and its usage in BCI applications or neuroimaging [9], [13], [34], [44]- [46]. Some studies on the hardware aspect of the fNIRS system have been published recently [35], [37], [47]- [52] and increasing interest in multi-channel portable fNIRS systems are observed.…”

John sat hunched over, ears red, cursing the paint under his breath. A war veteran not an artist, John (not his real name) hadn't painted with water colors before. But he and seven other combat veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars weren't trying to master a new artistic medium. They were all seeking relief from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) through a form of psychotherapy called art therapy.Art therapy helps people "tap into aspects of the self and the psyche that aren't always accessible," says Juliet King, an associate professor of art therapy at George Washington University. Typically masterstrained and board-certified, art therapists prompt patients to create with clay, paints, and other visual arts media. They talk with patients about the artwork and the patients' experiences. Their aim is to ease the symptoms of a wide range of mental health challenges-from eating disorders and anxiety to Alzheimer's disease and depression.The efforts of King and others make one thing clear: Art therapy often appears to work. The question is why. Why might creating abstract art from papiermâché and pastel help access, explicate, and even soothe the pain of a traumatic experience or condition? Despite efforts by scientists and art therapists, scientific answers remain elusive. The effects of art therapy, an inherently subjective activity, are difficult to test.Art therapists use a range of visual media to help patients verbalize and address the pain of traumatic experiences. This watercolor painting of a heart without arteries captured one combat veteran's state of mind, helping him grapple with feelings of being disconnected.

“…On neurotransmitters? Recent studies in physiology of creative expression and aesthetic experiences help to conceptualize the many ways of initiating research in this arena (Kaimal et al, 2017a ; Pelowski et al, 2017 ). Contributing to the research on addictions by testing art therapy intervention through a neuroaesthetic lens is timely, given the current opioid crisis in our nation and overall prevalence of addictions and substance abuse.…”

“…Studying functional connectivity within parts of the brain is logical, the investigations of which may rest upon what has been done so far in neuroimaging and art therapy (Belkofer and Konopka, 2008 ; Belkofer et al, 2014 ; Kruk et al, 2014 ; King et al, 2017 ). Capitalizing on the framework set forth it makes sense to expand these investigations through the use of technology that can be utilized in the active and engaged artmaking state, the investigations of which have also been initiated (Kaimal et al, 2016 , 2017a , b ). Exploring more thoroughly established clinical areas that are proven to be effective with the non-verbal therapies, or that are deficient in specific clinical symptoms that are observed, is an area of rich opportunity for transdisciplinary research for Creative Arts Therapists to use MoBI.…”

Transdisciplinary collaboration is the future of knowledge making in advanced post-industrial societies and there is a growing awareness that the most vexing problems we face cannot be solved by any single discipline. Best practices for complex and challenging physical and mental disorders require a multi-disciplinary approach, yet there is a void in bridging the gap between the most contemporary models. It is in this capacity that the Twenty-First Century Great Conversations in Art, Neuroscience, and Related Therapeutics serves as a missing link. It was with active minds and a collective spirit that artists, scientists, therapists, physicians, engineers, technology experts, healthcare practitioners, and researchers from across the globe transcended historical silos to explore the capacities for collaborative partnerships to influence the health of patients and the amelioration of disease. Hosted at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), presenters shared insights through didactic sessions and panel discussions aligned with three tracks led by prominent experts in their respective fields: (1) Neuroaesthetics, Anjan Chatterjee, MD; (2) Creativity and Consciousness, Arne Dietrich, PhD; and (3) Mobile Brain/Body Imaging (MoBI), Klaus Gramann, PhD. The goals for this symposium were developed from a vision which embraces cross-disciplinary intersectionality, a merging of viewpoints, and active dialogue surrounding the development of a common language with which to advance the Creative Arts Therapies and neurosciences. The goal was also to contribute to the development of a simplified roadmap to enhance and enrich the CATs with a greater understanding of neuroscience and the available technologies that can assist in research.
