Professor teams up with local artist to study aesthetic experiences in the brain.

Visitors to Dario’s Robleto’s conceptual art exhibit were given the option of wearing an EEG skullcap to record their brain activity while they observe Robleto’s artwork. The team of researchers from the University of Houston’s Cullen College of Engineering were led by Jose “Pepe” Luis Contreras-Vidal, Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz Cullen University Professor of electrical and computer engineering.
