About Us

The NeuroHumanities Network is a virtual community of clinicians, neuroscientists, artists, humanists, and patients, which explores the intersection of the arts, humanities, and neuroscience. The group meets through monthly seminars with a talk followed by a discussion, quarterly hands-on practicums, artistic contexts, and other forms of asynchronous engagement through social media. 

The range of the talks spans from the neuroscience of body horror, philosophy, and hermeneutics of neuropsychiatry, the art of Ramón Y Cajal, and much more. The spirit of the group is to represent the various voices in this intersectional field. Practicums are instead "hands on sessions", which have included dancing and Parkinson's disease, nutrition and cuisine in neurology). 

We also share opportunities hosted by other relevant organizations on our social media and in our newsletter. All are welcome--no experience or formal training required, only curiosity and an open mind!
