Only a little over a week to submit your contribution to the fourth edition of our International Conference on Beauty and Change. Find all the information here: fondazioneamendola.it/eventi/general… See you in october!

We're out! 🚀 Our latest work explores how attentional processes shapes the aesthetic attitude, by using EEG and machine learning. Check it out on PNAS Nexus: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/adva…

Do aesthetic experiences require real sensory input, or can mental imagery evoke them just as powerfully? Our study shows that vivid mental imagery alone can trigger aesthetic experiences nearly indistinguishable from those caused by real sensory input! doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…

The CfA for the Third International Conference on Beauty and Change is live! Join us and our amazing lineup of speakers for an exploration of this year’s theme: "Aesthetics and the Drive for Knowledge." Details here: fondazioneamendola.it/eventi/general…

@GroupBip Wow! Sounds very interesting.

Art & Neuroscience Meet at S.O.M.A. An multidisciplinary journey where artistic creation & EEG recording come together to explore the neural impact of creative expression in women with oncological experiences. We invite you to join us in sharing the Collective Artwork :

Happy holidays from us! We hope that like us you got a chance to celebrate the past year with your colleagues and now get a well deserved rest! See you in the new year 🎉

🧠 A story about the brain, told through self-supervised learning: Grid cells, known for mapping physical spaces, also appear to track *abstract spaces* like ideas and sounds. How? 🤔 Excited to share the first of 2 papers at #NeurIPS2024! With @SarthakChandra @FieteGroup. 1/n

What is an aesthetic experience? Or should we say HOW does experience become aesthetic? These theoretical questions are explored (also available in Italian!) in Specker et al. (2024) who argue that aesthetic experience is a continuum, read it here: doi.org/10.57633/NODES…

How do we evaluate artworks? and more specifically, how do artwork features lead to art experiences? These complex questions are tackled in our new publication, Spee et al. (2024) using machine-learning! Wanna know the answer? Check out: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

You may have already seen it @artislabs, but we (Pelowski et al., 2024) have a new publication out! In the @DomMuseumWien we showed that visiting their exhibition can foster empathy! Wanna know more? See: doi.org/10.1037/aca000…

People like round contours better than angular contours. Where and how is curvature represented in the brain? With indoor architecture we found a neural dissociation between subjective curvature and computational curvature. nature.com/articles/s4159… @DelaFarzanfar @mskov01

@EvaLabVienna Thank you for all of your insightful contributions! Can’t wait to see you again next year!

We had a great time in Turin at the 3rd Beauty & change Conference! Where posters and talks were presented, prizes were won, and some much needed naps were taken, hopefully until next year! @GroupBip

#JNeurosci: @TengXB, @LarrouyMaestri, and @davidpoeppel provide new insight into how we process music and its similarities to speech processing, opening new avenues for research in auditory perception and cognition. @CUHKofficial @MPI_ae @ESI_Frankfurt jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

Next we (Connor Kirts & @suvisaarikallio & @tuomas_ee) are developing tools to offer the community ways to evaluate the model predictions. The theory is out today #OpenAccess at @PsyofMus. See doi.org/10.1177/030573… 5/5 #musicscience #emotion #theory

New theory out! What do you get when you mix music and emotion regulation literature with the functions of music and explanations of music-induced emotions? You get a new theory called the 'Episode Model of Emotional Experiences of Music' 1/5

Two days ago I had the honor to talk about #DesignForAll at the 3rd Conference on #BeautyandChange at @FondAmendola, I am so grateful for this opportunity and for the people I’ve met! Thank you @GroupBip for this amazing event and all of those who are now my academic family 🤍

Congrats to all the early career researchers who did poster presentations at @GroupBip Conference on Beauty & Change: “Aesthetics & Human Flourishing: Theories, Experiments and Applications”. Loved learning what all our international psychologists & philosophers are cooking up.
