Neuroaesthetics investigates how the brain perceives beauty, art, and emotion—blending neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy to understand the biological basis of aesthetic experience. It explores how sensory, emotional, and cognitive processes converge to create appreciation for music, visual art, and design.

The Neuroaesthetics session examines neural responses to art, creativity, and emotional resonance. Researchers analyze brain networks involved in perception, reward, and meaning-making, uncovering how artistic engagement influences mood, empathy, and well-being.

At the Neuroaesthetics Conference, neuroscientists, psychologists, artists, and philosophers discuss the intersection of brain science and creativity. Topics include neural correlates of artistic perception, mirror-neuron systems in empathy, and the role of the prefrontal cortex in aesthetic judgment.

This session offers an interdisciplinary platform connecting neuroscience to the humanities. Attendees will explore how understanding brain responses to art informs education, therapy, and cognitive enhancement.

Current work in Cognitive Neuroscience continues to show that aesthetic experiences activate reward circuits and improve emotional regulation—offering potential for mental-health applications.
