THE SCIENCE BEHIND JOI NEURON

There is evidence that art-based programs are effective in reducing adverse physiological and psychological outcomes. Creative expression as a healing process has been used in both clinical and informal practice to promote wellness. Music is the most accessible and most researched medium of art and healing. Music engagements can calm neural activity in the brain, which may lead to reductions in anxiety, helping to restore emotional balance. On the other hand, the Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) educational components help individuals of all ages to develop their cognitive capabilities to levels much beyond what was considered possible in the past (National Science Foundation).
