In the episode “Dancing Through The Senses,” Anusha shares insights from her work as a perceptual neuroscientist, exploring how our sensory experiences shape brain health and how these processes can change in neurodegenerative conditions. (Apple Podcasts) She also reflects on the potential of the arts—not just as a tool for communication, but as a meaningful way to support understanding, connection, and even healing for people living with conditions such as dementia.
The conversation highlights the value of interdisciplinary approaches, bringing together science, lived experience, and creative practice to open up new ways of thinking about brain health. It also reflects EMERALD-Lewy’s commitment to innovative, inclusive approaches that go beyond traditional research boundaries.
