Why do certain faces turn heads while others blend into the crowd? What makes a landscape take our breath away? In "The Aesthetic Brain," neuroscientist Anjan Chatterjee ventures into territory where science rarely treads-the neural foundations of beauty, pleasure, and art. Our brains didn't evolve specifically for aesthetic appreciation, yet we've developed sophisticated neural systems that respond to beauty with remarkable consistency. This seeming contradiction reveals something profound about human nature: we're not just survival machines but meaning-makers who find purpose in beauty. Our aesthetic experiences, far from being frivolous luxuries, may be fundamental to what makes us human-bridging our evolutionary past with our cultural present in ways that define our species.
