"The Mauritshuis came to us with the question of how a brain responds to art and what makes the Girl with a Pearl so unusual," said Martin de Munnik, the co-founder of Neurensics at the press view. "The results were extraordinary." This statement emphasizes the curiosity driving the research and the unexpected insights gained about viewers' brain responses to Vermeer’s masterpiece.
"With the EEG, you see that the positive effect of the real work is much bigger than with seeing posters, even though they were viewed in the museum too," says de Munnik. "There was a ten times greater 'approach' signal than with the posters." This illustrates the significant difference between viewing original artworks and reproductions, highlighting the unique emotional impact of authentic art.
