Being told painting is fake changes brain's response to art

Being told that a work of art is authentic or fake alters the brain’s response to the visual content of artwork, Oxford University academics have found.

This study, published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, was carried out by Professor Andrew Parker and Mengfei Huang of the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, in collaboration with Dr Holly Bridge at FMRIB and Professor Martin Kemp of Oxford University’s History Faculty.
