Abstract
This article surveys the research and findings of neuroaesthetics, a subfield of neurol- ogy and empirical aesthetics. The main motivation for this line of research, which dates back to 2002 and probably even earlier, is a scientific study of the visual in- formation processed by a human brain that is connected to or influenced by an aesthetic judgment.
We discuss here mainly the work of S. Zeki, considered by many the founder of neuroaesthetics .
