Envisaged as one of its core activities, the Association of Neuroesthetics strives for continuing respectable higher education. In May 2009 the AoN launched a public lecture series, together with the Berlin School of Mind and Brain (Humboldt-Universität Berlin) and the Institut für Raumexperimente (UdK/Studio Olafur Eliasson). Within the frame of the AoN Neuroesthetics Talks Series, speakers from various disciplines are regularly invited to present and discuss their work in public. The lectures serve as a forum to feed the need and desire of neuroesthetic research, and to draw attention to the intriguing outcome of the interdiciplinary dialogue between scientists, artists, and scholars. Furthermore, the Deutsche Guggenheim promotes the AoN in organizing talks for the Deutsche Guggenheim CLUB within the AoN Art and Neuroscience Series.
In addition to the ongoing educational activities in Berlin, the Association of Neuroesthetics and its mission has been presented in various talks. The AoN also plans to organize high-level international conferences, including associated publications, as well as events such as exhibitions, workshops, and symposia.
