Day 1
INQUIRY | What do we know?
How does the brain shape the way we see, create, and make sense of the world?
Creative Brain Week - Day 1 traces the many journeys of creativity, from the laboratory to the community choir, from clinical care to lived experience. Together we explore how science and art illuminate perception, memory, and meaning, and how knowledge forms both within and beyond academic walls.
As we listen and connect, we begin to see what knowledge can look like when discovery is shared.
