Creative Brain Week 2024 – 4-9^th March 2024 – online and in person events which explored and celebrated how brain science and creativity collide to seed new ideas in social development, technology, entrepreneurship, wellbeing and physical, mental and brain health across the life cycle. This annual pioneering event illustrated innovation at the intersection of arts and brain science, including creative approaches to health.

This year’s theme was Attention, Connection and Love and the videos of each session are available through the daily tabs below.

We explored the above themes through arts, neuroscience, and their application:

• Attention, how does it work, what do people pay attention to, what happens as attention changes?
• Connection, how are people connected and what to? What connections do people ignore and can connections be nurtured?
• Love (and when it isn’t enough)—how do neuroscientists and artists understand love, and is love enough to build global systems of care?

In person events took place once again in the Science Gallery (Naughton Institute), Trinity College Dublin.  Events were free, but due to space limitations, both online and in person events were ticketed.
