In this video, focusing on responses to artwork, architecture and natural landscapes, EDWARD VESSEL explores how aesthetic experiences function in the brain. * Employing functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Vessel attempts to correlate subjects’ aesthetic responses with data from two brain regions, the ventral occipitotemporal cortex and the default mode network. * Extending our understanding of the role and function of these brain networks, Vessel’s research may have important implications beyond cognitive neuroscience, for how we learn and for human health and well being. About the author: Edward A. Vessel is a Research Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics. His main research interests include the neural basis of aesthetic experience, the neurobiology of information foraging and brain imaging.
