Abstrakt
Over the last three decades, we have witnessed the gradual penetration of modern and often experimental technologies into the humanities, which often could only prove their conclusions within the framework of logic and logical derivation. This trend can also be observed in fields such as aesthetics and art history.
Experimental devices currently help us understand and describe events in our brain that contribute, for example, to why some works of art appeal to us and others do not. They help us to describe the techniques used by the artist to change our perception of his work and thus evoke certain emotions in us.
This article should provide the reader with a basic orientation in the relatively young field of neuroesthetics and at the same time introduce the current state of the field in the environment of the Czech Republic.
