Define art scientifically? Only to the extent that it defines an initial electro-chemical process that it triggers in the brain, much like any other sensory input. But again, as every person is different, the results of that trigger--the resultant electro-chemical processes in the brain--will not be the same in any two people. So any definition can only be given in the very abstract, the potential but not the specific: A process that initiates other processes.
(Sorry, I don't have an hour and a half to listen to the clip right now. Maybe in a few days.)
