Well what science will do is get down to correlates-- read this or that poem, or have a subject read it, or whatever, and see what brain systems light up and how. Eventually, you'll be able to watch people listen to a poem and tell which poem they're listening to. You could correlate THAT action to other things: how people's brains work in love, or in thinking about chocolate, or a million other relationships, and thereby have something to say.
But what neuroscience CAN'T do is explain why there's subjective enjoyment at all, or even a subjective mind-- as opposed to the Universe having no such thing.
