Are smarter people drawn to music, theater and dance? Or does arts training in childhood change the brain in positive ways? In 2004, the philanthropic Dana foundation created a consortium of neuroscientists from seven universities to address those questions.

Some of the findings: An interest in performing arts helps develop sustained attention spans, which can improve other areas of cognition.
