Aesthetics for Dogs?
Laura Maguire

Dogs love art! At least, when that art is designed with them in mind.The Huffington Postreported the first ever canine-centric art show, created by London artistDominic Wilcox. To help him design the exhibit, Wilcox did a lot research about the canine visual system, and added various scents to the artwork.

从照片来看，狗狗们似乎被艺术品吸引住了。

“The dogs seemed to love their visit,” Wilcox toldThe Huffington Post. “Tails were wagging like crazy at the giant dog food bowl filled with brown balls. They were jumping in and out of that one.”

所以，狗狗们喜欢这种与专为它们设计的艺术品的互动。但他们有特别的审美体验吗?是什么让体验成为真正的美学体验，而不仅仅是感官层面的享受?

How doesneuroaesthetics能帮我们回答这些问题吗?
