El arte no es útil, es vital | Amaia Salazar | TEDxUFV
Artista e investigadora en neuroestética, Amaia Salazar defiende el arte como una herramienta esencial para la salud y el bienestar emocional. A través de su experiencia personal con la parálisis del sueño y su trabajo con pacientes y científicos, muestra cómo el arte puede dar forma a lo inexpresable, acompañar procesos médicos y generar comunidad. Una charla que invita a mirar el arte como una necesidad humana, no como un lujo. Doctora, profesora e investigadora de arte en la Facultad de Comunicación de la Universidad Francisco de Vitoria. Ha desarrollado su labor investigadora en instituciones internacionales como la Ruskin School of Art de la Universidad de Oxford, donde fue Investigadora Postdoctoral Margarita Salas y Junior Research Fellow en el Wolfson College. También ha sido investigadora visitante en el Basque Center of Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL), donde profundizó en los vínculos entre arte y neurociencia cognitiva, y en la New York University (NYU), donde complementó su investigación con aportaciones de la psicología conductual. Su trabajo se sitúa en la intersección entre arte, ciencia y salud, y explora cómo las experiencias artísticas permiten comprender mejor los procesos cognitivos y emocionales. Especializada en la cognición corporizada y los estados oníricos, utiliza la práctica artística como herramienta de investigación.

- 10:37Curiosity and the Cat | Tessa Parker | TEDxUC IrvineTessa Parker explores the beauty and frustration of the unknown, from the mystery of consciousness to the vastness of infinity. She reflects on how questions without answers can cause anxiety, but also fuel endless curiosity. Drawing from science, philosophy, and personal experience, Tessa makes a case for embracing uncertainty as a catalyst for growth. In a world full of unknowables, the pursuit of knowledge itself is what keeps us moving forward. Currently studying neurobiology at UCI (on exchange) as a recipient of the Fulbright Killam fellowship, she's interested in all things to do with the brain and health policy. Back home in Toronto, she is the president of her school's Pre-Medical society and in 2023, revived a non-profit in her hometown of Edmonton, which serves and connects with the homeless community on Sunday evenings every week. She hopes to pursue an MD-PhD, advocating for free and accessible healthcare along the way.
