NSCI 157 - Neuroscience of the ArtsFC NSMA 4 credits This course examines the neurological basis of the visual arts, musical arts, and culinary arts. We will heavily focus on the perception of art and how the brain allows us to perceive particular sensory features, experience emotions in response to art, and assign aesthetic appraisals. We will also discuss the production of art and how neural plasticity allows for the development of expertise. Lastly, the course will evaluate the neurological basis of creativity, improvisation, and imagination. All scientific knowledge necessary for understanding the material in class will be included; thus, advanced scientific coursework is not required. Field trips required.
