Explore the fascinating intersection of dance and neuroscience in this TEDx talk by choreographer Andy Noble. Discover how an arts-science team uses neuroengineering breakthroughs to study the dancer's brain in action and investigate the ways dance enhances brain development. Witness a live performance/experiment showcasing the brain activity of two dancers as they perform an excerpt from "Meeting of the Minds," with real-time brain data captured by a neuroscience team led by Dr. Jose Contreras-Vidal. Learn about Noble's innovative work as Co-Artistic Director of NobleMotion Dance and his collaborations across various disciplines, including his contribution to the Emmy Award-winning TV show "American Crime." Gain insights into how dance, as an artform that engages our creative, emotional, and physical selves, serves as an ideal subject for neuroscientific study.
