I was wondering if anyone has done a thesis or knows a prof that might be doing research in neuroscience related to the arts. I'm very interested in the arts and psychology and it would be great to be able to do a thesis related to both subjects.

Try looking at some of the music cognition profs? I don't know any names offhand but it seems like a good place to start.

Dr. Steven Brown is who you're looking for!
He does neuroimaging of people while they dance.
He also teaches a course "The Arts and the Brain"

okay, thanks. Is Mr. Brown the only prof at mac that studies neuroscience and the arts? I know he already has students he is supervising next year for their theses.
