Using high-resolution brain imaging, researchers reveal that aesthetic preferences for visual artworks can be captured by two key dimensions, meaning and value, offering insight into how the brain org...

In a recent series of experiments, Boger and Firestone ask: How do we perceive style?’. Their findings suggest that style perception relies on basic p…

Neuroaesthetics, an emerging field of research, studies how the arts can enhance our health and wellbeing.

Previous research shows that the typicality of visual scenes (i.e. if they are good examples of a category) determines how easily they can be perceived and represented in the brain. However, the uniqu...

Rhythmic neural activity is considered essential for adaptively modulating responses in the visual system. In this opinion article we posit that visua…

Exciting opportunity for a postdoc interested in visual aesthetic preferences!

Artists, thinkers, designers, and scientists are converging on the value of art, aesthetics and nature, parallelling earlier Romantics’ response to science and tech gone awry.

Can we build neural networks whose structure and computational abilities match a real brain? We are not quite there yet, but our new paper shows a strategy for getting closer to this goal.
