Abstract:
The brain is the window of the artistic mind. Brain activities lead to the understanding of the outside world by perception and cognition, and the enjoyment of the artistic wonders. This article will demonstrate how different brain areas are responsible for the creative abilities of painting, music, and literature. Due to the advancement in neuroscientic techniques such as functional MRI, brain electric activity mapping, etc, we explore and understand the brain areas that are responsible for cognition and artistic creation. We also understand the functional localization of mental activities from neurological patients with lesions in different brain areas. On the other hand, the artists had produced great works in a way similar to finding the related brain areas in the stimulation experiments. Therefore, many neuroscientists have praised that artists are outstanding neurologists.
