Neuron's Symphony
Participated in invention integrating time-stamped brain signal data (EEG) and brain images (FMRI) for the construction of live 3D modeled images that incorporated musical elements - such as note, melody, and rhythm - to holistically represent the complex dynamics of the brain
Because art therapists are encouraged to provide personalized feedback to the participants based on the art they created, I led a training session for our art therapy team. This presentation includes content on color analysis, PTSD and trauma, providing care to elderly patients, and respect towards cultural diversity.
AI Art Therapy
Having started with mandala art therapy, our team progressed to integrate artificial intelligence with traditional art therapy practices by using AI to create personalized templates deeply connected to the patient's cultural identity and personal narratives - which includes, for instance, traditional clothing, holidays, activities, and food that is specific to their culture. This promotes a sense of respect for diversity and increases engagement, also bridging the gap between elderly patients and art therapists in their 10s and 20s.

Community & Project
These are some of the community projects I have participated in and organized.
Art Therapy
Motivated to improve social isolation, loneliness, and trauma from Korean war in the elderly community in our local nursing center, our art therapy team used the creative process of making art to allow the patients for self-expression, both verbally and non-verbally. This not only improves social isolation but helps with dementia- which most of the elders there suffer from - by stimulating brain activities.
Hospital Holiday Decoration
Decorated nursing centers in holidays (Easter's Day, Valentine's Day, Christmas, summer, etc.) to help stimulate brain activity in seniors with dementia.
