Out of Our Heads: Why You Are Not Your Brain, by Alva Nöe

In short, aesthetic experience begins where neuroaesthetics ends; or, as the philosopher Alva Noë (2015, 361) put it, in neuroaesthetics 

“art isn’t explained; it is explained away.”

Indeed, neuroaesthetics requires us to give up the very concept of “art,” to impoverish it to the point of considering its productions as a primitive form of brain imaging, and beauty as the automatic outcome of the arrangement of visual stimuli (Cappelletto 2009, 151, 152).
