Program
The course will teach students the fundamentals of the neuroaesthetic approach to the study of aesthetic appreciation in the visual and auditory domain. It will address the following questions: 1) What are the anatomo-functional correlates of aesthetic appreciation? 2) What are the current neurocomputational models which best describe and explain aesthetic appreciation? What is the evolutionary significance of the sense of beauty in humans? 3) How can the neuroscientific evidence be applied in everyday life?
