Thanks to the generosity of the Chen Institute, the Academy is thrilled to announce the Chen Institute Brain & Mind Lecture series, an annual event exclusively for members and donors that explores brain science and mind health in our rapidly changing world.
NeuroAesthetics: Meaning is in the Brain of the Beholder
Someone duct-taped a banana to a wall, called it art, and sold it for $120k. What can neuroscience tell us about aesthetic experiences? Meet neuroscientist, stage director, and 2023 Osher Fellow, Dr. Indre Viskontas as she leads us on a journey into how our brains turn sensory perceptions into meaningful and moving experiences, that can motivate us to act in accordance with our values.
