NEUROESTHETICS

Some time ago I came across an essay by V.S. Ramachandran and W. Hirstein on the neurology of artistic experience, and although it seemed to me badly mistaken I was hoping that someone else would answer it before I got round to it. John Hyman did, and very well too.

Ramachandran V. S. and Hirstein W. (1999). The science of art: A neurological theory of aesthetic experience. Journal of Con sciousness Studies, 6(6-7), 15-51.
