More on neuroaesthetics

January 21, 2010/ Laurie Frick

Art and mathematics are fundamentally concerned with the representation of the surrounding world. They struggle to express by abstraction the general behind the specific....and establish what's essential and relevant. Human minds satisfy the basic human urge to find patterns....at all levels, from molecular to societal. Jaime Gomez and Sarah Belden -- "Mapping new Neural Pathways"
