Martin Skov (b. 1968) is a Danish neuroaesthetcian who investigates the neurobiological underpinnings of aesthetic preferences using fMRI. He is also interested more generally in reward processing, the relation between emotion and cognition, and combines these interests as a fan of Brondby IF.

Martin, maybe you should place the tag for your profile to the left of Thomas’, in order to get more compliments 🙂
Very fun and informative blog. Thanks to both
Thank you so much for your information on Neuroscience and Music, and the link to the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences! Your blog was easy to navigate, and really useful! Research successful ( thank you) especially because there is so much junk floating out there.
Hi Martin,
Where to meet and discuss the book on neuro-esthetics?
I have just met with Hjortkær today.
We’ll write the chapter in a cellular automato like
fashion.
Best
Jesper
