Beautiful Science: Exploring the Mind’s Canvas in “Matthew Wong: The Realm of Appearances”

Dr. Russell Toll, Assistant Professor with the Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care at UT Southwestern, engaged the Dallas Museum of Art community for an exploration of the science within art and the art within science through the works of Matthew Wong on February 8th.
The sciences teach us how to reach for the stars, but the arts teach us why we reach. The interplay between these disciplines has produced extraordinary achievements from both the human mind and the human spirit. Much like Matthew Wong repainted over the same canvas many times, our own stories and experiences are written and rewritten on the canvas of our brains in the language of neuroscience.
Dr. Toll painted a picture of the need to utilize EEG imaging in prevention and TMS services for treatment of depression and other mental health concerns.
