It proposes problem-based learning (PBL) as a suitable technique for neuroaesthetics research, emphasising its value in transforming researchers' perspectives and interactions. The benefits and challenges of using PBL are examined in the context of collaborative artistic projects, as well as in the classroom and Humanities research. The chapter also addresses emerging issues concerning copyrights, ethics, and permissions in PBL collaborations.Overall, the authors provide general considerations on PBL usage that will appeal to both specialists and non-specialists in the field. They present the technique of problem-based learning as essentially suited for neuroaesthetics research and point out the value of PBL principles in terms of lifestyles and social habits.
