  • Overview

    ¿Puede explicar la neurociencia la genialidad de los grandes artistas?

    De Dostoyevski a Borges, de Kandinski y Van Gogh a Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol o Leonora Carrington, las obras de grandes creadores a los que admiramos estuvieron marcadas por sus condiciones mentales. Con la intención de esclarecer cuánto hay de cierto en esta afirmación, el neurólogo y apasionado de las humanidades Mario de la Piedra Walter despliega en las páginas de este libro un exhaustivo catálogo de los trastornos que padecieron, los talentos de los que gozaron y las intervenciones a las que se sometieron algunos de nuestros artistas favoritos.

    Mentes geniales es una contribución fundamental desde la neurociencia al debate sobre qué es el genio creativo, cómo funciona su mente (que es la nuestra) y qué relación existe entre su obra y sus alteraciones neurológicas, que termina preguntándose si dicho genio será suplantado algún día por las inteligencias artificiales.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    Can neuroscience explain artistic genius?

    From Dostoevsky and Borges; Kandinsky, Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo; to Andy Warhol and Leonora Carrington, the works of so many of the artists we admire are said to have been shaped by mental illness. To test the truth of this theory, neurologist and art aficionado Mario de la Piedra Walter analyzes different psychological disorders, the artists who suffered them, and the treatments many of them endured.

    Brilliant Minds is an important contribution from neuroscience to the debate about the nature of creative genius. It explores the workings of the human mind and the relationship between artistic works and certain neurological conditions, and ends by asking whether that genius may someday be replaced by artificial intelligence.
