The project investigates how art therapy modulates experimental pain using neural, physiological, and biological measures such as brain activity, stress hormones, and heart rate variability.
BraArt is an interdisciplinary research project investigating how art therapy modulates experimental pain. It uses EEG, fNIRS, heart rate variability (HRV), stress hormones, and other biomarkers to measure neural, physiological, and biological changes before, during, and after therapy.
The goal is to explore the link between creative expression and pain relief, and to strengthen the evidence base for non-pharmacological treatment approaches.
