abstract

neuroscience has recently contributed a lot to the understanding of aesthetic experience features. science, art and creativity are not really distinctively different entities. the parallelism seen between the properties of art and organizational principals of the brain has been highlighted through neuroaesthetic studies. aesthetic as a subjective experience has comprehensively been studies through neuro-scientific, psychological, sociologic and cultural standpoints. this is a controversial topic in cognitive neuroscience, meanwhile seemingly varied results of the conducted researches in this field may be conceptualized in a framework linking aesthetics to neuroscience of affective visual processing, reward circuitries and the nature of decision making. approaching the question of art-brain parallelism, is along side with elucidating the relation between perception and aesthetic experience,and the features of aesthetic judgment and reward. moreover, other factors such as cultural underpinnings undoubtedly come into play. in this review we used expert opinions and literary notions to present a report on how neuroscience has so far elaborated on different features of the aesthetic phenomenon hoping to probe areas of neuroaeshetic research which can potentially assess our cultural interface with the aesthetics and cognitive neuroscience.

Where Neuroscience and Art Embrace; The Neuroaesthetics

n neuroscience, art is believed to have a divergent scope for problem solving (Zeki,1999). An artist focuses on ordinary every day happenings in depth, uses the higher cortical abilities of the brain, but finally what makes the artistic work out of his/her creativity is an output of the emotional system at subcortical level. In fact artists utilize the combinatorial properties of visual attribu...

Where art meets neuroscience: a new horizon of art therapy

Where art meets neuroscience: a new horizon of art therapy Advances in human brain imaging help us evaluate brain functions from many perspectives. We can define structural brain differences between individuals with various disorders, such as adult schizophrenia (1) and childhood, autistic-spectrum disorders (2). From these studies, we can posit hypotheses regarding structure, and how structure...

Conceptual art made simple for neuroaesthetics

Citation: Kranjec A (2015) Conceptual art made simple for neuroaesthetics. Cognitive neuroscience and conceptual art share some interesting common ground. Both are concerned with very basic questions about meaning and objecthood. By focusing on reductionist and contrastive aspects of conceptual art, perhaps neuroscience methods can be applied to the investigation of such questions using everyda...

Neuroaesthetics.

Neuroaesthetics is an emerging discipline within cognitive neuroscience that is concerned with understanding the biological bases of aesthetic experiences. These experiences involve appraisals of natural objects, artifacts, and environments. Because aesthetic encounters are common in everyday life, exploration of their biological bases can deepen our understanding of human behavior in important...
