The Science of Neuroaesthetics

We all know that art has a myriad of benefits on our wellbeing, but what does it actually all mean, and where does this proof come from? Neuroaesthetics is a relatively new term, loosely defined as “the scientific study of how the brain processes and responds to beauty, art, and design”. Coined relatively recently in 1999 by Semir Zeki, a British neuroscientist and professor at University College London.
