Huge thanks to Vicky Karkou, who brought the team together, and to the rest of the co-authors: Pierluigi Sacco, Matthew Pelowski, Catherine Carr, Val Huet, Jane Bourne, @robynd.bsky.social, and Helen Chatterjee.

We highlight the limitations of narrow neuroscientific framings and call for more inclusive, context-sensitive standards of evidence.

We welcome every effort to bring rigor to arts and health research (e.g., powered trials with well-defined control groups) but argue that such rigor must also reflect the complexity and ecological validity of real-world practices.

This event is sponsored by the Rockefeller University Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’s Microgrant Program.

Artistic team:
Alfonso Cid (flute and vocals), Tim Ferguson (double bass), Jesús Hernández (piano), Alberto Muñoz Sánchez (cajón and drums), and Constantina Theofanopoulou (flamenco dance).

Thanks, Lucas!
