AS 360.116 - Discover Hopkins Health Studies: Mind, Brain, and Beauty

Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

What underlies our aesthetic response to visual art and music? Do identifiable properties of objects and events evoke consistent aesthetic responses, or is beauty mostly in the eye of the beholder? Examining such questions from cognitive science, neuroscience, and philosophical perspectives, this course explores relevant research and theory in the visual and auditory domains. Several researchers will discuss their ongoing studies with the class, and students will also have the opportunity to participate in demonstration experiments that illustrate phenomena under discussion.
