Neuroaesthetics
Public Art UHS has an ongoing partnership with The BRAIN Center and Your Brain on Art Laboratory at the University of Houston’s Cullen College of Engineering to help advance the study of neuroaesthetics. This is an emerging field that seeks to understand why we find meaning in the visual arts and other modes of creative expression through cognitive and neurological approaches. Neuroaesthetics blurs disciplinary boundaries between engineering and the arts, uncovering relationships between perception, cognition, action and brain activity. Alongside our partners in science and engineering, this work focuses on investigating the intersections of aesthetic responses and neurological impulses, the human body and technology, aesthetic judgment and creativity.
