A revolutionary field at the intersection of brain, art and beauty
Neuroesthetics, founded by Professor Semir Zeki, is an innovative interdisciplinary field that explores the neurobiology behind some of our most profound human experiences, including beauty, love, hate, and the creation and appreciation of art.
