The Neuromantics
Season 2
Episode 7
The Neuromantics revisit a favourite theme: the importance of social interaction when it comes to healthy minds. This time the starting point is a study on the mental health benefits of cultural engagement. Why is looking at art in a gallery more psychologically resonant than looking at the same pictures online? And how is it that laughing along with an audience at a live show can alleviate our anxieties? Communist-era poetry, British TV comedy and the solitary writer all come bubbling to the surface of the discussion. With Professor Sophie Scott and Will Eaves.
