"Creativity, Addiction, & The Brain" Presentation and Conversation

Join ALBF Board members Dr. Robert Nelson and Dr. Jonathan Harris on Tuesday July 6, at 6 pm in the Rolf and Renate Schmidt Gallery at the Goggleworks Center for the Arts in Reading, PA.

The scientists will discuss their recent work, exciting new studies about addiction and the brain, and engage with audience questions. Dr. Jonathan Harris oversees Caron’s Integrative Neurofeedback Therapy programs in Pennsylvania and Florida, implementing strategies to enhance patient treatment efficacy through the use of brain imaging technology. Dr. Robert E. Nelson is a psychiatrist at DGR Comprehensive Behavioral Health and the Caron Foundation with a specialization in addiction.

“Our mission is to start a new conversation about these topics,” says Dr. Robert Nelson, psychiatrist at DGR and the Foundation’s President of the Board. “The more we learn about the brain, the more we can explore both the mysteries of mental illness and the miracles of creativity. We want to dispel some of the negative myths and stigmas by looking at the science in new, creative ways.”

The hands-on exhibit “Against the Wind” will be open before and after the lecture.
