In this talk, Hanna Poikonen covers her EEG research made with professional dancers and musicians in laboratory and theater contexts through event-related potential and phase synchrony analyses. In addition, I will present our ongoing InMotion study on dance for schizophrenia, which is made in collaboration with the Örebro University, and our Erasmus+ EU project in which our partners from Italy, Spain and Romania apply dance for fragile groups like dementia, autism and mental illnesses.
