The study found that all three conditions (coloring, doodling, and free drawing) activated the mPFC and reward pathways significantly more than the rest conditions, suggesting that art making can evoke positive neural responses.
Doodling exhibited the highest activation of the medial prefrontal cortex, which showed a strong relationship with reward and emotional regulation, highlighting its potential as a form of self-expression.
Collectors and artists share a mutual curiosity about each other's motivations, creating a richer experience in art appreciation and understanding, which also ties into the neuroscientific benefits of art-making.
The research demonstrates that engaging in creative self-expression tasks not only stimulates key brain regions tied to rewards but also enhances understanding between artists and collectors, thereby enriching their connection.
