Cook Children's Painting Robot, Spikelangelo, Featured on PBS
We're excited to share that Cook Children's is featured in the new PBS series called Confluence, featuring our very own Head of Neurosciences, M. Scott Perry, M.D.! 
This innovative series explores the fascinating connection between art, science, and creativity. The first episode, now streaming on PBS.org, dives into the work we're doing with Spikelangelo, the painting robot that helps children with epilepsy heal and recover through artistic expression.
“Confluence explores the enduring--and often surprising connections between three of the most essential aspects of the human experience: art, science, and creativity. A range of stories are told by a terrific array of characters, some well-known and others will be wonderful discoveries for audiences.”
