About the event
CAN CREATIVITY BE PART OF OUR BRAIN CAPITAL?
Bringing together science, art and creative research, the conference explores how different disciplines can contribute to new ways of understanding and producing knowledge.
Elena’s talk will examine creativity through the lens of neuroscience and international research. What happens in the brain when we create? Can creativity really be measured? And why is creative thinking becoming increasingly important as artificial intelligence transforms the way we work and think?
She will also introduce her upcoming novel as an example of arts-based research, exploring how storytelling, cross-disciplinary thinking and disciplined imagination can become methods of inquiry and knowledge creation.
At Creative Brain Academy, we see creativity as an important dimension of brain capital and a subject deserving serious scientific attention.
