Neuroscience and Visual Art; Moving through empathy to the Ineffable
1Clare College Cambridge, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK, ma393@cam.ac.uk.
Abstract:
In this article we wish to discuss recent work on neurobiology and visual arts, with impact on human pleasure, wellbeing and improved mental health. We wish to discuss briefly our model of the Human Person and apply it to Visual Art, and we wish to discuss our view of how empathy has been suggested as an important factor in how visual art can impact the human person, with its links with neuroscience and anthropology, and thus how Visual Art can put Human Beings in touch with their deepest feelings and even with the ineffable.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
