Summary
We find beauty all around us: In vibrant sunsets, haunting music, the elegant logic of higher mathematics. But how exactly does this aesthetic sense arise within the brain? And why does our enchantment with the things we consider beautiful so often veer towards obsession, even madness? Join the Crossmodal team as we examine the neuroscience of beauty through a cultural and artistic lens, in conversations on fractal patterns, Van Gogh's art, the unique perceptions afforded by neurodiversity...and chapstick!
