He's a leading expert on how our brains perceive beauty and art, and author of an engaging book on this topic: “The Aesthetic Brain: How We Evolved to Desire Beauty and Enjoy Art" In this beautiful conversation, we explore: the intersection of beauty, conversation, and the human brain how our biological evolution has left us in a world that often feels disconnected from our innate ways of communicating the aesthetic qualities of conversations, the biases we hold toward beauty, and how cultural representations influence our perceptions the importance of awareness in mitigating biases how to embrace complex ideas, rather than simplify them Links Dr. Anjan Chatterjee and the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics (PCfN) online PBS News Hour feature: ‘Brains and Beauty' exhibit explores how the mind processes art and aesthetic experiences The PCfN 2024 Year in Review Dr. Anjan Chatterjee on Bluesky The Aesthetic Brain: How We Evolved to Desire Beauty and Enjoy Art
Są miejsca, budynki, miasta, które nas irytują i chcemy z nich uciec, ale są też takie, które sprawiają, ze jesteśmy spokojni, zrelaksowani i dobrze się w nich czujemy. Jak architekura wpływa na nasze samopoczucie, czy nowoczesne domy są nudne i dlaczego Włosi produkują najbardziej dizajnerskie rzeczy?Gościem Siły spokoju jest prof. Anjan Chatterjee, ekspert od neuroestetyki, profesor neurologii, psychologii i architektury na Uniwersytecie w Pennsylwani, który odwiedził Uniwersytet SWPS w Katowicach, wygłosił tam wykład i prowadził warsztaty ze studentami.Dziękujemy za pomoc w przeprowadzeniu rozmowy dr Marioli Paruzel.

Is beauty a matter of nature or nurture? Is it hardwired in the brain or conditioned by culture? Neuroscientist Dr. Anjan Chatterjee challenges this dichotomy. In this clip, he points out that although “beauty is in the brain of the beholder,” our brains are more similar than they are different.For the full interview see: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043099/11785200For the broader project, visit: https://www.beautyatwork.netSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BeautyatWorkPodcastSupport the show
Think about the last time you were struck by a gorgeous painting in a museum, or heard a song that brought you to tears. All of us know what it's like to be stopped in our tracks by a beautiful sight. But scientists are still puzzling over why this is the case. What's the point of beauty? Why is it seemingly so important to us? This week on the show, neuroscientist Anjan Chatterjee explains the function of beauty in our daily lives. Then, Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek describes how beauty served a purpose in some of the biggest scientific breakthroughs of our time.In case you missed it, make sure to listen to the last installment of our Healing 2.0 series, The Power of Apologies.

A lot of prescription pill bottles come with a ball of cotton inside, on top of the pills. What's it for and should you take it out or leave it in there? This episode begins with an explanation. https://www.businessinsider.com/why-huge-cotton-ball-comes-pill-bottles-medicine-health-pharmacy-prescription-2017-5 There has likely been a time in your life when you wanted to ask someone to do something for you were reluctant and decided not to. It seems almost human nature to hate to ask people for things. Even when we do ask, we sometimes say, “Gee I hate to ask this but…” We should all try to get over that reluctance and ask anyway according to Vanessa Bohns, PhD. She is a social psychologist, a professor of organizational behavior at Cornell University and author of the book, You Have More Influence Than You Think: How We Underestimate Our Power of Persuasion, and Why It Matters (https://amzn.to/3Emj83G). Listen to what she has to say and you'll probably feel better about asking for what you want.

Is beauty all about physical attractiveness or are there other elements that can create or enhance beauty?

Our guest today is Anjan Chatterjee, MD, FAAN. He is a Professor of Neurology, Psychology, and Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania and has served as the Chair of Neurology at Pennsylvania Hospital. While his clinical work focuses on cognitive disorders, the focal points of his research are in neuroaesthetics, spatial cognition, language, and neuroethics. His multidisciplinary knowledge has won him recognition and awards. It has led him to author his book, The Aesthetic Brain, a study on how art has embedded itself into the human mind as investigated through the lens of neuroscience and evolutionary psychology.Dr. Chatterjee joins us to discuss the following:Dr. Chatterjee's academic path from philosophy, to neuroscience, to neuroaesthetics.Are humans hard-wired for beauty?Individuals are influenced by culture, and culture is influenced by the collective.The Aesthetic Triad and how it is affected by moral judgments.Using beauty as a heuristic.Why humans can find beauty in non-sensory subjects.The questions asked by neuroaesthetics.What can we learn from exploring aesthetics in Science?Visit Dr. Chatterjee's blog on Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/brain-behavior-and-beautyCheck out his books: The Aesthetic Brain: How we evolved to desire beauty and enjoy art and co-edited Brain, Beauty, and Art: Bringing Neuroaesthetics in Focus as well as Neuroethics in Practice: Mind, Medicine, and Society, and The Roots of Cognitive Neuroscience: Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychology.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FHZZYOU/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i1Brain, Beauty, and Art: Essays Bringing Neuroaesthetics into Focus (With Eileen Cardillo)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09LVVRY54/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0Neuroethics in Practice (With Martha J.

Beauty isn't in the eye of the beholder, it's in our brains. Dr Anjan Chatterjee uses neuroscience and evolutionary psychology to answer some big questions like what is art and beauty?
"It's not obvious how or why art meets a need. We don't eat it, we don't have sex with it. Yet we are drawn to it and we've been making art since the begining of civilization"Today's guest is Dr. Anjan Chatterjee, Neurology professor at the University of Pennlysvania. He is a prominent neurologist, former Chief of Neurology at the Pennsylvania Hospital. He is currently the founder and director of the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics, which studies the neural impact of aesthetic and artistic experiences. In his book “The Aesthetic Brain: how we evolved to desire beauty and enjoy art” he makes a compelling case for the intimate links between art and science and their common goal of getting insight into the human experience. For all his scientific pedigree Anjan also has an artist's sensibility. He teaches architecture, has a deep love for street art, and he moonlights as a photographer.In this conversation Anjan and I discussed:how our brain reacts to art and beauty, and how we process and assign meaning.the role of art in human experience and social change.art's potential for becoming an recognized medical treatment.the challenges of scientific research and evidence on a subject so vast and subjective as art.There's no way to cover the full extent of these questions in under 40mn but I hope you'll get enough food for thought!Thanks for listening ✨----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week we're exploring the neuroscience behind our relationship to beauty. Are we culturally conditioned to prefer certain landscapes, works of art, and types of buildings or are those preferences universal? Why do some people embrace nature while others are fearful? Is there a way to measure biophilic design's effect on neurodivergent individuals? We investigate all of those questions and more with our guest Dr. Anjan Chatterjee, a renowned professor of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Chatterjee is at the forefront of a relatively new field called neuroaesthetics which examines the neural basis of aesthetic experiences. In other words, why do we deem certain things beautiful or pleasurable over others? Particularly with nature and biophilia, the answer may not be as clear-cut as you think.

Anjan Chatterjee is a Professor of Neurology, Psychology, and Architecture and the founding Director of the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics. He has won awards for his work in the fields of cognitive neurology as well as psychology and art and has written some fascinating books on these topics. In this episode you will learn about: How our brains respond to beauty. How the human experience of beauty is malleable and why this matters. What the evaluation of art looks like in the brain. The potential for misuse of neuroaesthetics in the art industry.
This bonus episode accompanies episode 3.2, "Wasn't she crazy?"As we talk to our experts looking for answers to the questions for the show, we run into fascinating things sometimes that don’t quite fit within the main episode - but we still want to share them with you all. We asked Anjan Chatterjee an existential question, and also to explain a little more about his field of neuroaesthetics as it might apply to a place like the Cottage. www.lincolncottage.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

An iconoclastic professor of literature at Oxford University named John Carey wrote a book a few years back called What Good Are the Arts? which examines, among other things, why people make a distinction between the so-called fine arts, and all the other kinds of arts. Are a pink flamingo on a lawn in Hampden and a Renaissance statue in the sculpture court of the Walters Art Museum fundamentally different, if both give pleasure to the person who encounters them? Is the intrinsic value of art premised in its being beautiful? And why do any of us recognize anything as being ----beautiful---- -- or not?On today's edition of Midday on the Arts, we begin with a conversation about the nature of art and beauty, and what shapes our responses to art that we find appealing, and art that leaves us flat, or even infuriated. Tom's guests are a visual artist, a brain scientist who studies what shapes our aesthetic experiences., and an art historian who heads a major art museum.Jimmy Rouse is an artist whose latest exhibition opens at the Creative Alliance in Baltimore tomorrow (March 16);Dr. Anjan Chatterjee is the Chair of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania's Pennsylvania Hospital, the founding director of the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics, and director of the Center's ChatLab. He is the author of the The Aesthetic Brain: How We Evolved to Desire Beauty and Enjoy Art.
