Neuroaesthetic

In these projects it is investigated the cerebral reaction to the perception of the beauty in humans.

Funder & Duration

  • Funder: BrainSigns
  • Duration: 2013-2016

Measures in front a real masterpieces of Tiziano, Jan Veermeer, as well as sculptures such as Michelangelo’s Moses and the perception of the Sistine Chapel were performed by BrainSigns in these last years.

Neuroaesthetic

 The ongoing project is related to the perception of the poetry from Alighieri’s Divina Commedia, the “NeuroDante project” developed in cooperation with the Lincei Academy in Rome.
