We’re still glowing from our time at the Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity Conference at the Paris Brain Institute, Sorbonne University—a gathering that brought together some of the brightest minds exploring the science of creativity.
To mark the occasion, we at Sonophilia Foundation hosted a warm and intimate breakfast salon for the attending scientists—because we believe that the best ideas are often shared over coffee, croissants, and meaningful conversation.
Here are a few inspiring highlights from the conference we wanted to share with you:
Rowan University is launching a groundbreaking PhD program in creativity for business professionals. Entirely online, transdisciplinary, and designed to be completed in just three years, this program bridges science and practice in a way we’re truly excited about.
New research on music-evoked nostalgia, especially in end-of-life contexts, shows its powerful ability to elevate happiness and emotional well-being. A beautiful reminder of music’s deep and lasting impact on the human experience.
And a curious insight: gestures enhance imagination and creative thinking. Perhaps that explains why cultures rich in expressive movement—like Italy—consistently lead in creative output.
We’re so grateful to have been part of this vibrant exchange of ideas and are excited about the collaborations to come. Thank you to all the scientists, thinkers, and friends who joined us—your work is shaping the future of creativity.
Onward, with curiosity and connection.
