Inner Vision: an Exploration of Art and the Brain, by Semir Zeki

Internal vision: art and brain exploration, artistic expression of Semir Zeki is more intertwined with the internal workings of the brain than we think. Author and cognitive neuroscientist Semir Zeki is indeed thinking so. Zeki is the main authority surrounding the "visual brain" research. In his book "Inner Vision" he explains to the reader what kind of art work the brain really is aware of and tries to provide the biological basis of aesthetic theory There.

According to Professor Semir Zeki's research, a neurobiologist at University College London can observe the activity of dopamine and the art of increasing the frontal cortex of the brain, thereby providing a pleasure similar to romantic love or casual drug use You can experience. Is not this a good reason to add some artwork around you? The moment you buy the original work from a living artist, you give him more hope. For many artists who have not made their own names yet and have not created art, this is more true, regardless of their hardships and low profits. Yes, you are not living an artist desperately, but helping to live! The world needs them, they need us. If your heart and soul did not have artists or art works, how would you retreat from the pandemic around you?

A series of brain mapping experiments conducted by Professor Semir Zeki of the University of London showed that seeing painting caused a sudden increase in dopamine in the brain. And it brought satisfaction, warmth and desire. In addition, according to a survey of more than 10,000 students at the American Art Museum in the northwestern part of Arkansas, students experienced important critical thinking, historical empathy, and tolerance with an hour visit to the museum. Growth art is more than just comfort and treatment. It opens the awareness of the set of infinite possibilities by the audience and separates ideas from their suffering. To some extent, art has expanded the recognition of people's reality. Although the therapeutic effect of art may not be obvious in a short period of time, in the long run, its importance in our daily life is deeply recognized.
