According to several studies Michigan State University Physiologist Robert Root-Bernstein and his psychologist mother, Maurine Bernstein, found that most Nobel Prize winner and members of the National Academy of Sciences had arts-related hobbies!
"Their less successful people did not share either their arts interests of their arts-related thinking skill, "
This finding replicated in several similar studies seems a logical extension of other research conducts at UC Irvine suggesting that exposure to music actually enhances intellectual ability. Not only does listening to Mozart improve test performance (at least temporarily), preschoolers who play piano do better at science and math than their counterparts who do not Why should this be so? Why should painting or playing piano or writing poetry have anything to do with math or science? One obvious reason is that scientist, like artist, must learn to pay close attention --both to detail and to the broader context. Scientist, like artist, are people who notice things. They not only see things that other people often ignore, they also see the frequently hidden links among disparate aspects of reality.
Scientist and engineers, says Root-Bernstein " must learn to observe as acutely as artist and to visualize things in their mind as concretely. They must learn to recognize and invent patterns like composers or poets... and play their high-tech instruments with the same virtuosity as musical performers, "
Another art-science connection may lie in the relationship between our hands and our brain.
