The sciences teach us how to reach for the stars, but the arts teach us why we reach. The interplay between these disciplines has produced extraordinary achievements from both the human mind and the human spirit. Much like Matthew Wong repainted over the same canvas many times, our own stories and experiences are written and rewritten on the canvas of our brains in the language of neuroscience.
Join Dr. Russell Toll, Assistant Professor with the Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care at UT Southwestern and Executive Director of the nonprofit Compassion Neuroscience, for an exploration of the science within art and the art within science through the works of Matthew Wong.
This talk is presented in partnership with UT Southwestern Medical Center’s Center for Depression and Clinical Care, the Grant Halliburton Foundation, and Compassion Neuroscience.
