O
has written articles on visual neuroscience and
the humanities in the Hektoen International Journal
of Medical Humanities, in addition to serving as
a pre-concert speaker and program annotator
for the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra and
the Weill Cornell Medical College Music and
Medicine Orchestra.
"The blog, A Musical Vision, is an archive
of essays and published articles in the human-
ities, serving as a resource to readers who wish
to delve deeper into these topics," Dr. de Luise
said. It incorporates ophthalmology and visual
science, music, art, and perception that Dr. de
Luise has written as program notes, published
articles, or essays on various social media plat-
forms.
Dr. de Luise hopes to bring some key
aspects of the neuroscience of beauty and per-
ception—principles that have been consciously
or subconsciously articulated and embedded in
art, sculpture, and architecture—to EyeWorld
readers on a regular basis.
"My goal in bringing some of these
humanities findings to EyeWorld, with a regu-
lar series of pictorial images and short-form
essays, is to highlight fascinating domains at the
intersection of art and visual perception, and to
provide EyeWorld readers with a visual respite
of beauty and reflection amid all the excit-
ing technology and science articles that drive
forward the wondrous field of ophthalmology,"
Dr. de Luise said.
You'll find some of
Dr. de Luise's insights
on the intersection
of art and medicine
in the Outside the
OR section in future
issues of EyeWorld.
His perspectives are
