Neuroaesthetics is gaining momentum. At this early juncture, it is worth taking stock of where the field is and what lies ahead. Here, I review writings that fall under the rubric of neuroaesthetics. These writings include discussions of the parallel organizational principles of the brain and the intent and practices of artists, the description of informative anecdotes, and the emergence of experimental neuroaesthetics. I then suggest a few areas within neuroaesthetics that might be pursued profitably. Finally, I raise some challenges for the field. These challenges are not unique to neuroaesthetics. As neuroaesthetics comes of age, it might take advantage of the lessons learned from more mature domains of inquiry within cognitive neuroscience.
神经美学正在兴起。在这个早期阶段，值得盘点一下该领域的现状和未来的发展方向。在这里，我回顾了属于神经美学范畴的著作。这些著作包括对大脑的平行组织原则以及艺术家的意图和实践的讨论、描述有启发性的轶事、以及实验神经美学的出现。然后，我提出了一些神经美学领域可能有价值的研究方向。最后，我提出了一些该领域的挑战。这些挑战并非神经美学所独有。随着神经美学的成熟，它可能会从认知神经科学内更成熟的研究领域中吸取经验教训。
