About
Luc Delannoy (b. Brussels) is a Belgian writer, sinologist and philosopher. His research focuses on studies of the mind and human consciousness, as well as on the relationship between art and mental health.
Since 2002 he has been researching quantum coherence and its epistemological implications. He has been visiting professor at several universities in America. After being a visiting professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, he founded the Neuroartes Institute in 2003 in Mexico the Center for Research in Neuroaesthetics and Neuromusicology (CINNe) and in Chile the Neuroartes Foundation.
Since 2015 he is a visiting professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Valparaiso, Chile, and contributes to the launch and implementation of mental health programs based on the foundations of Neuroartes.
In the last decade of the 20th century, Luc Delannoy promoted Neuroartes as a transdisciplinary philosophical movement. The field of research of Neuroartes is art and its links with the mind and the different aspects of consciousness. It also studies the structures of perception and aesthetic experience. Different disciplines have approached Neuroartes: artistic expressions, quantum physics, hermeneutics, epistemology, health sciences and educational sciences. The concept has been taken up and developed in several countries.
Neuroarts is a proposal on the generation and propulsion of knowledge, which encompasses perception, imagination, empathy, creativity and reasoning; all of these are neuroepistemic or universal neurocognitive processes, characteristic of brain morphology.
Delannoy also writes about popular music, particularly jazz. His book Lester Young, Profession: President, published in Paris in 1987 and in the United States in 1993, won the American Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers Award for Excellence in Music Journalism. In 2000 he received the Moe Berger-Benny Carter Award in Jazz Research. He translates into Spanish texts of neo-Confucian philosophers of the 20th century.
Member of the New York Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Association, the Society for Comparative Studies of Chinese and Western Philosophy, and the International Association of Buddhist Studies, and the Association of Chinese Philosophers in America.
