Description
The Theatre and Cognitive Neuroscience brings together leading researchers from seven countries to explore the intersection of art and neuroscience. This comprehensive volume is divided into four parts, each offering a unique perspective on the complex relationships between theatre, human cognition, and performance. From the neurocognitive aspects of theatrical experience to the physiological basis of action and empathy, this book provides a rich array of perspectives on the field. With contributions from both neuroscientists and theatre scholars, it offers a rigorous and interdisciplinary approach to understanding the performing arts. This volume is an important contribution to the growing interest in cognitive neuroscience and its applications to the performing arts, revealing the richness of exchange and debate that arises from different approaches to these topics.
