'Brains and Beauty' explores how the mind processes art

Season 2024 Episode 333 | 6m 15s

Visual art is a subjective experience, but what draws one person into an artwork and turns off another? A new exhibit, "Brains and Beauty: At the Intersection of Art and Neuroscience," explores that question by examining how the brain processes aesthetic experiences. Stephanie Sy reports from Arizona for our look at the intersection of art and health, part of our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
