Magsamen and Ross offer compelling research that shows how engaging in an art project for as little as forty-five minutes reduces the stress hormone cortisol, no matter your skill level, and just one art experience per month can extend your life by ten years. They expand our understanding of how playing music builds cognitive skills and enhances learning; the vibrations of a tuning fork create sound waves to counteract stress; virtual reality can provide cutting-edge therapeutic benefit; and interactive exhibits dissolve the boundaries between art and viewers, engaging all of our senses and strengthening memory. Doctors have even been prescribing museum visits to address loneliness, dementia, and many other physical and mental health concerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour Brain on Art\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a portal into this new understanding about how the arts and aesthetics can help us transform traditional medicine, build healthier communities, and mend an aching planet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PENG","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":46054588842237,"sku":"5397","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/4741\/5805\/files\/book.jpg?v=1740715663","url":"https:\/\/the-museum-shop-at-wam.myshopify.com\/products\/your-brain-on-art","provider":"The Museum Shop at WAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
