India, Jan. 29 -- Why Beauty Stops the Scroll (Neuroscience talk)

What: Why does a photograph, song or graph make you pause mid-scroll? This Pint of View talk, led by Kohinoor Darda, a social cognitive neuroscientist, examines beauty as a cerebral event rather than a vague feeling. He examines how visual pleasure lights up reward circuits in the part of our brain that is usually reserved for food and desire, and why art and design feel essential rather than optional. The session mixes science with storytelling, followed by open conversation over drinks. Tickets include two beverages, bar snacks and dinner discounts, making it as social as it is nerdy.

When: Saturday; 4.30pm-6:30pm
