520    "Have you ever gotten chills while listening to a 
       particularly gorgeous piece of music? Or felt a sense of 
       calm while gazing at a painting of a serene landscape? We 
       have experiences like those every day, but rarely stop to 
       consider what's happening internally to cause them. In 
       Your Brain on Art, founder of the International Arts + 
       Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine 
       Susan Magsamen and Google designer Ivy Ross explain how, 
       by understanding how we biologically react to aesthetic 
       experiences, we can not only heal as individuals but 
       thrive as communities. Using the new science of 
       neuroaesthetics, which explores our physiological 
       reactions to art, Magsamen and Ross show us how, for 
       instance, gardening can help a person heal from trauma or 
       listening to a major fifth interval can snap the body out 
       of a fight-or-flight response. Beyond enjoyment and 
       abstraction, art can change the way we operate on a daily,
       practical level. And, in addition to helping each of us 
       heal from stress, anxiety, burnout, and other malaises of 
       modern life, neuroaesthetics can effect major change in 
       society writ large, whether through public art murals in 
       high-crime areas or music and dance therapy for patients 
       experiencing neurodegenerative disorders."--|cProvided by
