UCLA Arts Distinguished Lecture Series - Brain, Health and Creativity

System Admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:50:13 +0000

The intersection of the creative arts and neuroscience is not always a comfortable place. Artists may feel their work is misrepresented and deeply misunderstood, and neuroscientists may feel their strategies are being applied inappropriately to issues that remain ill defined.

Running risks on both sides, Dr. Bilder has taken on this challenge and examines the underpinnings of creative cognition in humans as well as in other species believed to display certain capacities for innovation and novel adaptation to their environments.

In this compelling lecture, Dr. Bilder identifies selected cognitive domains that are important contributors to the creative process and examines how the concept of creativity has been narrowed and defined in order to approach it as a target of biological science.

TOPANGA FILM FESTIVAL - SALON DISCUSSION ON CREATIVE COGNITION AND CINEMA

Writers – Getting to the Core

http://www.topangafilmfestival.com/salon-discussions

Friday – July 29th 3pm – Church of Cinema

This salon discussion explores the human urge toward story, and how to go about unlocking the stories that need to be told. The panelists will offer various perspectives on the creative process from the very inception of our story ideas through their cultivation and development into a form that can be shared with others. As we peel away the layers to reveal the very essence of our urges, a picture emerges of the centrality of narrative in our lives: face-to-face, online, and everywhere in between.
