WiseMotion, which I founded in Feb 2018, is based on my PhD research in neuroscience of movement, dance and music, and updated with my latest brain research in learning sciences, rehabilitation and decision-making. Our new website is wisemotionco.com What do you think?

What happens to our human ability to solve complex problems in the future if we teach ourselves not to use deep concentration? Read my article at @sciam to see how our brain research on math expertise at @ETH lead me to contemplate the question above.  scientificamerican.com/article/develo…

@BaraIonela @kohinoordarda @RichRamseyPhD @brain_on_dance Now I read it, @BaraIonela - it’s such an insightful piece of work! It would be interesting to compare the brain responses of art historians and data scientists specialized in AI when they watch arts created by humans and AI

@WiseMotionCo @kohinoordarda @RichRamseyPhD @brain_on_dance Thank you, Hanna!

✨It's #PreprintFriday! Our latest opinion piece brings together insights from neuroaesthetics, social cognition, and art history to discuss the bias against AI-generated art. Amazing collab 🤩 w/@kohinoordarda @RichRamseyPhD and @brain_on_dance osf.io/preprints/psya…

Great teaching today the WiseMotion Masterclass on the brain states of creativity and innovation at the FusionPoint! FusionPoint is a part of the @Esade Business and Law School in Barcelona and one of the university innovation hubs of the Design Factory Global Network.

On the first day at Motion Lab of @orebrouni, I lead a workshop on EEG data acquisition and analysis. On the second day, we recorded good-quality EEG-fNIRS data with 64 EEG and 64 fNIRS channels with the mobile systems of @gtec_BCI and @NIRx_NIRS. It is possible! #brainresearch

@BaraIonela @ETH_en @brain_on_dance Your lecture series looks so fascinating that I’d love to be a student in all of them 😃

Delighted to kick off the teaching semester at @ETH_en! 🎉 Just started my first Neuroaesthetics module with the wonderful support of @brain_on_dance ✨

Happy to share with you our new open-access article which was published in the @EJNeuroscience on the cortical functions of dancers, musicians and novices when watching live dance at LIVELab of @McMasterU doi.org/10.1111/ejn.13… Video: vimeo.com/345086503

Happy to share the first results of our DanceCARE project!

In today's hospitality news, Trisara, a luxury resort in Phuket, will host its inaugural wellness retreat  programme, the WiseMotion Retreat, this November, an innovative 5-day retreat that will be led by esteemed neuroscientist Dr. Hanna Poikonen. More at punchmedia.co.th/2024/09/the-wi…

During the 4-day WiseMotion Retreat at @ArcticTreeHouse, we understood the body from the mechanical, cognitive, emotional and creative perspectives which supported the wellbeing of people with highly demanding careers, with neurological challenges and a healthcare professional.

Spotlight #6 on the #IADMS #DanceForHealth committee Dr Hanna Poikonen pursued her doctoral degree in neuroscience of dance and music in 2018. Since then, she is involved in Dance for Health projects both as a practitioner and educator through her #WiseMotion method, 🧵

ETH Zürich, like so many other institutions and companies, suffer from the rapid increase of mental health issues. I was happy to experience the direct action taken by one of the ETH professors and share a WiseMotion workshop on sleep on her lab’s retreat at the Swiss Alps.
