Synopsis

"Quick book recommendation for you. I finished reading this about a week ago and it's still lingering in my thoughts. I always intend to blog the dogeared pages, but never get around to it. In a nutshell: Jonah Lehrer explores how artists from various disciplines and eras have pre-empted neuroscience by intuiting or reflecting particular parts of brain function. Lovely, accessible, thoughtful, a science book that embraces art and acknowledges the role it has to play in reflecting human experience. Perhaps most importantly, it also fully acknowledges the uncertainty at the heart of a lot of science, and how that brings it closer to art in a way we don't often recognise. Good stuff." - cowbite
