KEYNOTE SPEAKER: SUSAN MAGSAMEN
Susan Magsamen is the founder and executive director of
the International Arts + Mind Lab, Center for Applied Neuroaesthetics,
a pioneering initiative at the Pedersen Brain Science Institute at
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Her body of work lies at the intersection of brain
sciences and the arts—and how our unique response to the arts and
aesthetic experiences can amplify human potential.

Susan Magsamen is the author of the Impact Thinking model,
an evidence-based research approach to accelerate how we use the arts
to solve problems in health, well-being, and learning. She is also an
assistant professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins and serves as
co-director of the NeuroArts Blueprint project
in partnership with the Aspen Institute.
An award-winning author, Susan has published seven books.
Her latest book, Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform
Us was written with Ivy Ross, Vice President of Design for
Hardware at Google. It is a journey through the science of
neuroaesthetics that offers proof of how our brains and bodies are
transformed when we participate in the arts and aesthetic experiences,
and how this knowledge can improve our physical and mental health, help
us learn and flourish, and build stronger communities.
