Abstract
In this video, neuropsychologist Mark Solms explains how, from a neuroscientific perspective, our innate drive to play might be an underlying evolutionary mechanism for testing real world interactions. He suggests that art is then an expression of the human instinct to play and artistic expression offers society ways of creatively representing meaning. This is the fifth video in Week 3 of the Medicine and the Arts Massive Open Online Course.
