British Council’s ‘Science and Beyond’ series
Hyderabad: As part of its ‘Science and Beyond - a lecture series’, the British Council and Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER Pune) is showcasing eminent writers, scholars and historians of science from the UK to Hyderabad. Semir Zeki, British neurobiologist will be the speaker at the series.
In his talk on ‘The neurobiology of aesthetic experiences and the significance of beauty’, Semir discussed the experience of beauty, whether derived from sensory sources such as visual art or music, or from highly cognitive ones such as mathematics, correlates with activity in the same part of the emotional brain, field A1 of medial orbito-frontal cortex (mOFC).
This raises important questions about the role and uses of beauty not only in our daily experience but also in our efforts to understand the structure of the Universe in which our brains have evolved.
