First of Its Kind: This book is a pioneering work from an Asian country, filling a gap in the global literature on the intersection of art and neuroscience, with very few similar titles available in the Western world.
Exploration of Human Creativity: The book delves into the nature of art as a unique expression of human creativity, showcasing how artists convey their thoughts, ideas, and emotions through visual or auditory means.
Scientific Insight into Art: The initial essays provide a clear and accessible explanation of the science behind creativity, including the neurological processes that support artistic expression and appreciation.
Neuroscience of Artistic Techniques: The book explores the scientific principles behind the techniques artists use to enhance the aesthetic value of their work, even without understanding the underlying neural structures involved.
Neural Pathways in Art: It also highlights the neural pathways engaged during the creation and appreciation of visual art, suggesting that artists might be intuitively functioning like neuroscientists in their work.
Impact of Neurological Diseases on Art: Several chapters explore how neurological diseases, such as strokes, dementia, and Parkinson’s disease, impact the art forms and creativity of talented artists, offering a deep dive into how the brain’s health influences creative expression.
Art's Representation of Neurological Diseases: The book discusses how neurological diseases have been portrayed in literature, films, and other art-related media, bridging the gap between neuroscience and cultural expressions.
