Voices from the Field: Dr. Emmeline Edwards Discusses Artful Minds Focus

The publication of Artful Minds, a focus section in Leonardo, the leading international peer-reviewed journal on the use of contemporary science and technology in the arts and music and the application and influence of the arts and humanities on science and technology, marks a milestone for scholarship in the field of neuroarts. This special section, guest edited by me and Susan Magsamen, Director of the International Arts and Mind Lab Center for Applied Neuroaesthetics and Co-Director of the NeuroArts Blueprint Initiative, explores the impact and importance of rigorous interdisciplinary research in the field of neuroarts through a curated collection of peer-reviewed articles. 

In this blog, I want to draw your attention to the featured articles in Artful Minds and consider next steps for research in the neuroarts community.
