This updated second edition provides the state of the art perspective of the theory, practice and application of modern non-invasive imaging methods employed in exploring the structural and functional architecture of the normal and diseased human brain. Like the successful first edition, it is written by members of the Functional Imaging Laboratory - the Wellcome Trust funded London lab that has contributed much to the development of brain imaging methods and their application in the last decade. This book should excite and intrigue anyone interested in the new facts about the brain gained from neuroimaging and also those who wish to participate in this area of brain science.* Represents an almost entirely new book from 1st edition, covering the rapid advances in methods and in understanding of how human brains are organized* Reviews major advances in cognition, perception, emotion and action* Introduces novel experimental designs and analytical techniques made possible with fMRI, including event-related designs and non-linear analysis

Puesto que el pintor expresa sus esperanzas y deseos, su visión del hombre o la sociedad a través de un medio visual, la parte visual del cerebro es la que debe destilar la funciones atribuidas a las obras de arte, cualesquiera que sean. Al afrontar el problema del arte visual y la estética desde un punto de vista neurobiológico, es necesario plantear una definición amplia de las funciones del arte, definición que abarque todas, o al menos la mayoría, de las diferentes funciones que se atribuyen al arte. Creo que esta aproximación tendrá como resultado una definición de la función del arte muy similar a la función del cerebro: representar los elementos constantes, eternos y duraderos de objetos, superficies, rostros, situaciones, etc. y, por tanto, permitir que adquiramos conocimiento, no sólo del objeto concreto, del rostro o la condición representada en el lienzo, sino que también lo generalicemos a muchos otros objetos y, por tanto, adquiramos conocimiento de una amplia categoría de cosas, objetos o rostros.

Neuroaesthetics has become an important new field in the sciences bringing together researchers from cognitive science (as a general term including brain science, psychology, anthropology, ethology, artificial intelligence), the humanities (including linguistics, philosophy), and the arts (artists from the visual arts, music and poetry). Thus, neuroaesthetics is a prime example of successful interdisciplinarity. In the book Neuroaesthetics: Exploring Beauty Within and Around Us we distinguish and represent in several articles two different kinds of interdisciplinarity: "Horizontal interdisciplinarity" brings together in a complementary way different fields like (as an example) psychology, linguistics and poetry. "Vertical interdisciplinarity" refers to research on data generating mechanisms like (as an example) neural activities in the brain being associated with subjective experiences of "beauty". In the book articles refer to the visual arts ("art in space"), to "faces in art", to poetry and music ("art in time"), and to general ideas (bridging art and science). This is a unique collection of articles with a broad scope.
