Instituto de Neuroartes

OUR INSTITUTE

I founded the Instituto de Neuroartes in New York in 2003. 

During many years art, perception, mental health were my main topics of interest: in my studies, my research, my conversations with friends, musicians, artists, physicians, philosophers,  (neuro)scientists. I wanted to reflect on human perception, to explore ways to relate art and mental health for individual and collective wellbeing. Over the years and as a natural result of my conversations, I knited a transdisciplinary network of profesional in three continents; we shared our reflexions with the purpose to act locally by taking into account our cultural differences  and similarities. This international network of artists, philosophers, physicists, neuroscientists, physicians, biologists, psychologists does contribute to the practical and theoretical framework of our proposals. As a post-materialist initiative  Neuroartes implies the formulation of new ideas on human perception, imagination, education, knowledge and its purpose, wisdom and individual and collective wellbeing. The Instituto was born as a natural extension of this active network: it does invite to a dialogue with the purpose of putting into practice our reflexions

and proposals. 

​

We suggest a series of reflexions on how to understand the human mind and consciousness based on neuroscience, quantum mechanics and the several Buddhist traditions. It is necessary to open a dialogue between various traditions of thinking. 

​

We propose a pluralist epistemology in order to design transdisciplinary guidelines to develop social programs to promote mental health. We work on human and spiritual development.
