The article considers neuroaesthetics as an important direction in modern science, neural networks that are actively included in art and culture. The network as a metaphor for our society is becoming the basis for the humanists’ reflections on the features of modern digital culture, the tools of neuroaesthetics help scientists, physiologists, art critics, and culturologists to better understand the characteristics of a person. A few provisions of torii art have also been proven from the standpoint of the work of our brain in the framework of neuroscience. The possibilities of neuroaesthetics and neuroprogramming have become part of the life of a modern person, manifesting themselves both in the use of graph theory and in the modeling of various objects associated with cinema and art practice. An important point is the criticism of neuroaesthetics for trying to present its conclusions as universal, but as human history shows, it is impossible. A separate issue is the criticism of neural networks by a few creative people, for whom digital projects based on neuroaesthetics and neural networks are identified by competitors. On the other hand, for a few creative people, neural networks have become a valuable tool for creativity, the creation of interdisciplinary projects of humanistic significance. As history shows, modern technologies help us solve principal issues, but cannot completely replace a person. The development of neuroaesthetic science expands our knowledge about the visual perception of works of art and other qualities of a person and the culture he creates. Latest information about sensations will lead us to an understanding of perceptual aesthetic experiences.
