 Art is rooted in our perception, the way we experience the world we see and we listen. The aim of the course is exploring the biology of perception and how this impacts the way we experience art and also how art is produced, the rules of art. The course goes through the physiology of vision and painting and then through hearing and music. At the end we want to convey an idea of what neuroscience is about and also to look from another point of view to look at great pieces of painting and music.
