On the Brain – Canadian Art

“the fields of art and neuroscience both help us think, philosophically,
about how we interact with the world. Unfortunately, that thinking is
sometimes muddied with oversimplifications about how our brains process
the experience of art—and in simplifying the explanation, it’s implied
that the value of art lies solely in its provision of pleasure and
gratification, as well as in the release of the neurotransmitter
dopamine, when in fact many other neurological phenomena are involved.”
