For all my art loving friends, I recommend the book, Your Brain on Art. It’s a bit heavy on the physiology but describes in depth the new study of ‘neuroarts’…Posits that the arts are essential for healthy brains. But then, ya’ll probably knew that:-)

How art, music and dance affect your brain and body

Art is not a luxury for our downtime, but an important contributor to physical and mental well-being, says Susan Magsamen, co-author of an upcoming book on the new field of neuroaesthetics, which studies the brain’s responses to art.

"Architects and Designers Appraise Spaces Differently Than Us", by Anan Chatterjee, MD, FAAN

I just took my last trip to MPI for Empirical Aesthetics for a while. It was the trip where I cleared out my desk, took down the wall decorations, etc. This chapter is coming to a close! I will really miss working at this place, where our work on #neuroaesthetics was seen as having real value. I hope I can find a next academic home that also sees the importance and promise of this work!

Hey science peeps, I'm here! =)
It was getting a little lonely over there...

A bit about me:
I do visual #neuroaesthetics. How do people get pleasure from understanding visual inputs, like nature scenes and artwork?

I work at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, and am on the job market!

By way of #introduction, I've been a recording engineer, a music technology specialist, a magazine writer and a digital designer.

I'm writing a book for music lovers, about how we get our music preferences, why our preferences differ, whether we can change them... that sort of thing.

I sing with Crouch End Festival Chorus.
