Abstract

The book is organized around 4 sections. The first deals with the creativity and its neural basis. The second section concerns the neurophysiology of aesthetics. It covers a large spectrum of different experimental approaches going from architecture, to process of architectural creation and issues of architectural impact on the gesture of the observer. Neurophysiological aspects such as space navigation, gesture, body posture control are involved in the experiments described as well as questions about terminology and valid methodology. The next chapter contains studies on music, mathematics and brain. The final section deals with evolutionary aesthetics.
