Neuroestetica e fenomenologia della percezione pittorica e musicale
2008
Neuroaesthetics aims at working out a neurobiological theory of aesthetic experience that accounts for neural invariants of perceptual properties fo artworks. In this paper, arguments are proposed that deal with the specification of the intended domain of application, its implications for neurobiological evidence that qualifies as explanans, the contribution that a rigorous phenomenological explanation of the perceptual variety in visual and musical arts can give to an evolutionary account of the cognitive skills underlying arts.
Immaginazione
2022
The most recent discoveries deriving from the exchanges between aesthetics and neuroscience – especially those stressing the importance of the sensory-motor system in both scientific and aesthetic experience – have raised a particular attention on the subjectivity of mental processes, especially those related to the knowledge processes, and on the role of imagination. These results have, still nowadays, influence and confirmation in literature, which many scholars interested in a cognitivistic approach consider as related, if not just the same, to the ability of mankind to make tools and, thus, to make sense. An example of this reciprocal influence of neuroscience and literature is without …
Critica del riduzionismo e pensiero morfologico. La «Neuronale Ästhetik» di Olaf Breidbach
2015
The proposal of a neuronal aesthetics developed by Olaf Breidbach looks like one of the most advanced points in contemporary morphological thinking and as an extremely challenging effort to redefine the conceptual system of aesthetics; at the same time it is, unfortunately prematurely, the theoretical testament of its author.
Neuroaesthetic exploration on the cognitive processing behind repeating graphics
2022
Repeating graphics are common research objects in modern design education. However, we do not exactly know the attentional processes underlying graphic artifacts consisting of repeating rhythms. In this experiment, the event-related potential, a neuroscientific measure, was used to study the neural correlates of repeating graphics within graded orderliness. We simulated the competitive identification process of people recognizing artifacts with graded repeating rhythms from a scattered natural environment with the oddball paradigm. In the earlier attentional processing related to the P2 component around the Fz electrode within the 150−250 ms range, a middle-grade repeating rhythm (Target 1)…
