"Beauty and the Brain" Neuroaesthetics with Dr. Anjan Chatterjee

Have you ever thought about what viewing a beautiful piece of art, natural landscape or face does to your brain?

How does "beauty" vs imperfection embed itself into our biases? And how can beauty be used in the practical world to influence our brains? Dr. Anjan Chatterjee Professor of Neurology, Psychology, and Architecture at UPenn and the Director at the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics joins the podcast to discuss.

Food plays a big role in your every day life. It turns out, food has played an even big role in shaping the world as we know it.

Hear legends of man-eating birds protecting rare spices, the truth about classic regional dishes and why beer might be the reason we progressed from hunter gatherers in the first place. Today's guest is Tom Standage - Deputy Editor of The Economist, and author of numerous books including New York Times Bestsellers “An Edible History of Humanity” & “A History of the World in 6 Glasses”.
