The Low-Residency MFA in Visual Studies presents a lecture by neuroscientist Brian Dunn.

Brian Dunn is an editor, educator, and researcher in the field of human affective neuroscience. He and his colleagues use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify the neural correlates of human emotional experiences. Since 1994, he directly collaborates with studio and recording artists on the neural and psychological bases of their concerns. He is currently completing a PhD at Concordia University’s Center for Studies in Behavioral Neurobiology in Montreal.

The Low-Residency MFA in Visual Studies summer session is an eight-week long institute featuring graduate seminars, critique sessions, visiting artist lectures, and intensive periods of studio practice. Students participate in onsite graduate seminars and unique subject focused institutes run by PNCA faculty, and by visiting artists and scholars.
