Plus: Last chance to attend the Summer Conference live.
Neuroaesthetics is the study of how the brain responds to aesthetic stimuli. It is a relatively new field of study, but it can potentially revolutionize how we design our environments.

In the movie Minority Report, the precogs see the future, and they use this ability to help the police prevent crime. In a similar way, designers can use neuroaesthetics to make assumptions and create environments that have a positive impact on our mental and emotional well-being.

Learn how, as precogs in Minority Report provide a glimpse into what is possible, to similarly use neuroaesthetics to design our environments.
