    Abstract

    We describe a transdisciplinary research programme called Created Out of Mind which draws together artists, scientists and people living with rarer forms of dementia. The importance of subjective, lived experiences of dementia is highlighted as a key driver of research conducted during our arts-science residency in The Hub, Wellcome Collection. We illustrate our approach through worked examples of how comments and experiences shared by individuals with a visual form of dementia called posterior cortical atrophy inspired and shaped experiments, artworks and other outputs which deepened understanding of that condition.
