Preface
The interweaving of art and science, specifically aesthetics and neuroscience, is an emerging field of research.

Groups of research in this institution aim to bring together researchers from different fields to create networks of common interest. The Aesthetic, Art and Science group, “ESARS”, was founded in 2014 by the Institute of Biological Science of the CNRS. ESARS gathers several research teams from many laboratories and universities across France. In addition to their own field of research, whether it is mathematics, physiology, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, these teams develop a research line related to creation, creativity and aesthetics. This without-wall laboratory is a very rich, beehive-like structure. Several meetings have brought together artistic and scientific creations.
