In a study published in 2014, it was found that participants that were placed in a visual art production group had more resilience than those individuals that were placed in a group which evaluated art that was located in a museum. Of particular interest in this study was the use of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to also examine the changes which occurred to the brains of both study groups. The article reference is posted below for those that might be interested in the full-text.
With recent advances in neuroimaging, we are now able to see more aspects of the functioning of the brain, in states of both health and disease.
