The Routledge International Handbook of Neuroaesthetics is a comprehensive and authoritative resource that offers a thorough introduction to this rapidly evolving scientific field. Written by a team of esteemed international scholars, the book provides a well-balanced overview of neuroaesthetics, exploring two fundamental questions: how the brain processes aesthetic appreciation for sensory objects and how art is created and experienced.

The editors, Martin Skov and Marcos Nadal, have assembled a comprehensive neuroscientific, physiological, and psychological exploration of the mechanisms underlying the evaluation of sensory objects and aesthetic appreciation. Spanning a diverse range of art forms, including visual, auditory, movement-based, and language-mediated creations, the handbook critically examines current research to unravel the essential role of perceptual and emotional processes in art production. It also delves into the intricate interplay between art, expectations, experience, and knowledge, shedding light on how these factors shape artistic appreciation and its potential impact on mental states, health, and well-being.

The concepts presented in this handbook are elucidated through extensive research on the neural processes that enable artistic creativity, artistic expertise, and the evolution of symbolic cognition. The book is designed to appeal to a wide audience, including students and researchers interested in exploring the intersection of neuroscience, aesthetics, and cognitive psychology. Its comprehensive coverage, engaging writing style, and extensive references make it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to delve deeper into this fascinating field.

In conclusion, The Routledge International Handbook of Neuroaesthetics is a groundbreaking work that provides a comprehensive and accessible entry point into the world of neuroaesthetics. By bridging the gap between neuroscience and the arts, it sheds light on the underlying mechanisms that shape our perception and appreciation of art. This handbook is a must-read for anyone interested in advancing their understanding of the brain's role in artistic creation and its potential applications in fields such as education, therapy, and the promotion of well-being.
