The PCfN launched in July 2018 with support from the Penn Provost's Office, the Perelman School of Medicine Dean’s Office, the Department of Neurology, the Department of Radiology, and the Center for Human Appearance.
2 11dIn part because of our work, neuroaesthetics is poised to grow exponentially and have a broad impact across different sectors of society. The PCfN has quickly become the international leader in research examining and establishing the biological bases of aesthetic experiences.

2 18About ChatLab
2 186We explore beauty, language, cognition, and the brain using converging evidence from behavioral, neuroimaging, and lesion studies. We investigate a wide range of cognitive processes, including those underlying aesthetic experiences, the use of figurative and spatial language, and event representation. We're also interested in ethical questions raised by neuroscientific progress.
2 64Our lab is affiliated with the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics (PCfN).
