Creative experiences are often thought to benefit brain health, but how and why remains unclear. A recent large-scale study using “brain clock” models shows that individuals engaged in creative domains - such as dance, music, visual arts, and video games - exhibit delayed brain ageing compared to non-experts, with stronger effects linked to higher levels of expertise and performance.
