Abstract

This work describes the establishment and maintenance of Art-Science Clubs as useful tools for neuroscience teaching to K-12 and high school students. Art production and appreciation were used to expose contents about the mechanisms of perception, motor control, cognitive physiology, and others neuroscience contents, which have figured in the development of these activities to children, youth and lay public. In this way, the Art-Science Clubs propose a work based on artistic process of transforming the neuroscience contents into a public form so that they can edit and shared with others. The initial aim of the Clubs was to create a group of artistic workshops by the students involving the following themes: cognitive physiology, sensorimotor integration, perception, memory, attention, language, creativity, and others.
