The Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel shows how science can inform the way we experience a work of art and seek to understand its meaning. He illustrates how reductionism--distillation of larger scientific or aesthetic concepts into smaller components--has been used by scientists and artists alike to pursue their respective truths.
