    The role of creativity in the artist and in the beholder is being explored by brain scientists. Making models of the world is also the core function of the perceptual, emotional, and social systems in the human brain. The artist depicts the world and the people in it by targeting and manipulating the brain's ability to make models of emotional and perceptual reality.
