Art is an expression of human creativity whereby the artist expresses his or her experiences, ideas, thoughts and opinions on a subject visually or auditorily perceived. Through art, it is possible not only to record or describe objects, events, and moments, but also to express feelings, opinions, and attitudes.
This book seeks to investigate the processes of artistic performance in the brain through modern neuroscience and advanced neuroimaging techniques.
Presented as a series of essays, the text first explains the science behind creativity, the scientific basis of techniques, and the neural pathways involved in both creation and appreciation of visual art works.
The remaining essays explore the impact on art forms and creativity of neurological diseases such as stroke, dementia, and Parkinson’s disease.
The book also discusses the portrayal of some neurological diseases in literature and films, and other art-related media, bridging the gap between neuroscience and cultural expression.
