Thirty-six studies investigated the impact of group arts interventions on depression (n = 3,360) and ten studies investigated anxiety (n = 949). Subgroup analyses showed that group arts were more effective for people in care homes than community settings.

This particular #PreprintFriday drop is near and dear to my heart, as we’ve been discussing the ideas for nearly 3 years, while watching the landscape of AI-generated art evolve at a wild pace. 🖼️ 🤖So proud of @BaraIonela for getting this submitted this week! 💪
✨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

Immensely proud of @marthaisdancing for this beast of a paper addressing timely & important questions related to dance-focused health & social interventions for older people 🕺💃Congrats, Martha! This is shaping up to be one heck of an impactful PhD project! 🚀
What dance programs are we offering to older people to support health and social outcomes? How do programs and participants vary across different dance research trials? Evidence gaps and opportunities for future research?
