She deftly takes the reader from Deep History into our current worldview by surveying the range of nascent responses to perception, thoughts and feelings that have bred paradigmatic changes and led to contemporary research modalities. Interweaving carefully chosen illustrations with the emerging ideas of brain function that define various time periods reinforces a multidisciplinary framework connecting neurological research, theories of mind, art investigations, and intergenerational cultural practices. The book will serve as a foundation for future investigations of neuroscience, art, and the humanities.Consciousness, literature & the arts ;Volume 47.Neurosciences and the artsNeurosciences and the arts.700.19Ione Amy480141MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827922303321Art and the brain4085480UNINA
