Body and Mind

The Neurobiology Of Love And Beauty

What is love? Or beauty? Can the secret to happiness lie in a fundamental brain operation? Join us as Professor Semir Zeki explores these eternal themes and argues that the key to a deeper understanding of love and creativity lies in understanding the brain’s quest to acquire knowledge about the world. Professor Zeki will trace the frustrations of artists and the illusions of lovers to the inability to match reality to the concepts formed by their brains. Explore how a state of permanent discontent can be turned into a source of creative inspiration - giving us some of our most treasured works of art!
