Scientists are collaborating with artists to investigate how our brains and bodies engage with performance to create new understanding of perception, emotion, imagination and empathy. Divided into four parts, each introduced by an expert editorial from leading researchers in the field, this edited volume offers readers an understanding of some of the main areas of collaboration and research:\u003cbr\u003e1.

As Honour Bayes reported in the \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e in 2011, the relationships between theatre, science and performance are 'exciting, explosive and unexpected'. \u003ci\u003eAffective Performance and Cognitive Science\u003c\/i\u003e charts new directions in the relations between disciplines, exploring how science and theatre can impact upon each other with reference to training, drama texts, performance and spectatorship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book assesses the current state of play in this interdisciplinary field, facilitating cross disciplinary exchange and preparing the way for future studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicola Shaughnessy\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Performance at the University of Kent, UK.
