Greater Question in Neuroscience (GQIN): Aesthetic Perception - Beauty and the Brain

Dear GQIN Guests,
I wanted to forward you the information for the upcoming GQIN event (details below). Please feel free to forward the message below to any contacts you believe would be interested in attending. We would also like to forward this to your departments to open the opportunity for your students to attend as well. If there is a preferred contact in your department to send this message to please let us know. Also please feel free to visit our website to review your profiles and event information at www.greaterqin.com.


Message to Forward:
Humans are attracted to beauty. Primitively, our sense of attraction guides our associations with others. Beyond this, it guides our art and its meaning in our lives. What underlies this fundamental characteristic of human experience? Is there some neurological basis for art? What drives us to produce it?

Join us for our next GQIN colloquium, Beauty and the Brain, as we explore this deep subject. Please RSVP atnsci-greater-questions@umich.edu. For more information on the event and the guest faculty please visit www.greaterqin.com.
