A large part of the human brain is devoted to processing visual information, which helps explain the prominent power of images. This talk will first briefly review some relevant information about visual processing in the brain and the ways that neuroscientists envisage the operation of the underlying neural networks. The mysterious mind-brain relationship also provides a rich terrain for artistic exploration, and the second part will deal with ways that artists have exploited brain mechanisms and have represented its relation to cognitive function.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
