Brief Summary: The effects of art on health and well-being have been the subject of increasing exploration in recent years In 2019 the World Health Organization proposed a literature review analyzing the links between art health defined as a state of good functioning and well-being Currently the majority of research has focused on populations presenting pathologies somatic neurological or psychiatric very often in older adults Furthermore exposure to art unlike the practice of an artistic activity still remains under-investigated However recent publications review and longitudinal study suggest that attending museums would be associated with an increase in well-being in people with or without pathology

Supported by the Blood Brain Caen Normandy Scientific Interest Group and the Museum of Fine Arts as part of the Millennium festivities of the city of Caen the partnership between three Caen laboratories and a Parisian laboratory enabled the drawing of this innovative research which will aim to measure the effects of visiting a museum dedicated to painting on well-being in healthy adults It will also involve identifying the cerebral cognitive and socio-emotional processes associated with these effects via comprehensive and ecologically adapted measurements

Through understanding the mechanisms specific to exposure to art which promote well-being this research could have implications for

1 Promote synergy between cultural and health policies
2 Design museum experiences as close as possible to human functioning
3 Open up to new perspectives such as the role of exposure to art in maintaining good health with the possibility in the longer term of considering research on other arts other populations in a lifespan approach
4 Open up to other studies of the same type involving pairs of patients and caregivers young people and seniors etc
Detailed Description: 1 Call for volunteers

An A5 information poster will be distributed in various structures in the Caen region but also through the press Participants will be able to contact a member of the research team by email They will then be contacted in response to this email in order to arrange a telephone appointment The purpose of this preliminary telephone interview will be to ensure the inclusion criteria without collecting the personal data relating to them This is to avoid unnecessary travel If the participant can be included then a physical appointment will be offered to them in order to carry out the inclusion visit
2 Inclusion visit

An inclusion visit will be carried out during which the participant will be informed of the progress of the study its implications and their right of withdrawal A test of the different devices Near InfraRed Spectroscopy NIRS eye-tracking glasses skin conductance bracelet under the same conditions as those of the study will be carried out Then the participants consent will be collected via a written form Finally the participant will fill out an admission questionnaire with socio-demographic questions questions related to the aforementioned inclusion criteria and questions about their cultural practices Only for participants over 55 years old an assessment via the Montreal Cognitive Assessment MoCA - screening tool for mild neurocognitive impairment will be carried out At the end of all these acts the participant will be assigned an inclusion number The personal data collected will be stored on a single computer at Cyceron
3 Visit 1 to the Museum of Fine Arts in Caen

Experimental groups Participants in the experimental groups will be randomized into two groups with or without mediation

Regardless of their group they will see the same number of tables The measurements and questionnaires they will answer will be identical Upon arrival participants will be welcomed and then
Guided to a room where they will answer well-being and stress questionnaires and complete cognitive tasks executive functions globallocal visual attention episodic memory empathy and creativity questionnaire
Equipped with eye-tracking glasses the NIRS headband and the bracelet to measure heart rate electrodermal biosensor bracelets
Guided to view 6 paintings For group A without mediation participants will be brought in front of each painting and will look at it independently for 2 minutes For group B with mediation the mediator equipped with a lapel microphone will guide them and explain each painting in 2 minutes The viewing time and distance will be the same for both groups After each painting regardless of the group participants will indicate the emotions felt by responding on an affect grid
Removal of glasses headband and bracelet
After the visit participants will again answer the questionnaires and the different cognitive tasks except for the empathy and creativity questionnaires

Control group The participants in the control group will visit the museum according to a pre-established route with the same number of paintings as the experimental groups The duration of viewing each painting will be controlled to be identical to that of the experimental groups ie 2 minutes On the other hand they will not wear any device NIRS eye tracking and electrodermal bracelet and will not have mediation They will answer the same questionnaires and cognitive tasks as the experimental groups before and after the visit as well as the affect grid during the visit
4 Visit 2 to the Museum of Fine Arts in Caen

For the experimental groups the changes between visits 1 and 2 will be as follows

Number of patients

Participants will complete the visit in pairs composed of 1 member from group A and 1 from group B These pairs will be divided into two new groups A with mediation and B without mediation
Participants will see 8 paintings 6 paintings already seen during the first 2 new paintings

The questionnaires except empathy and creativity measured only during visit 1 the cognitive tasks and the measurements oculometric via eye-tracking brain activity via NIRS cardiac activity heart rate via the bracelet will be carried out in the same way as during visit 1

For the control group

The procedure for visit 2 will be identical to that of visit 1 As for the experimental groups only the empathy and creativity questionnaires will not be included in the questionnaires to be completed
Like the experimental groups the control group will carry out the visit in pairs formed from the members of control group C from visit 1
