The Oxford Handbook of Empirical Aesthetics
Humans have engaged in artistic and aesthetic activities since the appearance of our species. The expression of meaning using color, line, sound, rhythm, or movement, among other means, constitutes a fundamental aspect of our species' biological and cultural heritage. Our ancestors have decorated their bodies, tools, and utensils for over 100,000 years.
Science is faced with the challenge of explaining the natural foundations of such a unique trait, and the way cultural processes nurture it into magnificent expressions, historically and ethnically unique. Art and aesthetics, therefore, contribute to our species identity and distinguish it from its living and extinct relatives. How do the human mind and brain bring about these sorts of behaviors?
What psychological and neural processes underlie the appreciation of painting, music, and dance? How does training modulate these processes?
