Acclaimed neuroscientist Semir Zeki pioneered the field of neuroaesthetics to probe the biological basis of the aesthetic experience, art, literature, love and beauty. He thinks scientists have lots to learn about the brain from the works of visual artists and romantic literature. And visit London's Hayward Gallery, where the Walking in My Mind exhibition has been described as a 'vast humming cranium' as artists unearth their creative process through vast installations.
Transcripts are published by Wednesdays pm. Audio is available on Saturdays after broadcast.
