Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (MPIEA) in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, have investigated how the combination of music and images influences the aesthetic perception of art, and what role the deliberate correspondence between auditory and visual elements plays in this. The results of the study have recently been published in the journal Scientific Reports as part of a collection of papers on neuroaesthetics compiled by Emily Cross (ETH Zurich).
