Is the art world between two worldviews, one slowly dying, and one not yet born? What do you think the quintessential art movement will be that accurately reflects the moments of our time? How will our collective creative visions survive the digital and the cyber-worlds? What is the imagination when the ego is anaesthetized, can we really behold the world anew?

Art & Neuroscience: The Perception of Art by the Brain.
What happens to art when it enters the brain? How do our brains reconstruct, assess, and fasten judgment to works of art? Does this include not only bottom-up flows (sensory input moving higher and higher, up into the cortex), but also top-down flows (expectations influencing the viewing or listening process; jogged memories coloring our incoming perceptions)?
These are the subjects of the vast majority of current neuroaesthetics researchers and indeed what most books concerning art and the brain investigate.
