Beauty and the Brain: Exploring Neuroaesthetics in Literature

This innovative teaching project at the Department of English and Linguistics delves into the interdisciplinary dialogue between humanities and neurosciences. Emphasizing neuroaesthetics, it combines literary, cognitive, and cultural studies to investigate the brain's responses to beauty in art and language. By integrating research and teaching, it goes beyond a standard seminar to include expert inputs and discussions in the Winter Semester 2012/2013 and Summer Semester 2013.
