How does the experience of beauty arise, and why does art affect us so deeply? In this English-language talk, artist and Associate Professor in Neuroscience Andrea Moreno from Aarhus University explores what happens in the brain when we encounter painting, music, or movement. The focus includes how the brain responds to symmetry, color, pattern, and emotion.
The talk connects art and neuroscience and takes a closer look at why something can feel exactly right or take our breath away. Andrea Moreno is affiliated with Aarhus University as an Associate Professor in Neuroscience and is also part of the exhibition 'Kunst på hjernen' together with other exhibitors from DANDRITE at Torvet. The event takes place at Dokk1/Aarhus Hovedbibliotek, and admission is 50 kr. Booking is required in advance.
