Description:

This course provides an introduction to the basic topics related with brain structure and functions using state-of-the-art techniques within the scope of art experience. Brain imaging and neuroimaging are generally used to access imaging outcome after interventions and perceive both brain structure and function. Nevertheless brain imaging accessed within the scope of art is an innovative scientific field. The experience of brain-imaging and neuroimaging of art emerges from the interaction of multiple cognitive and affective processes. The aim of this course is to perceive of how these regions act in concert to produce exceptional and moving art experiences.
