The Cognitive Turn initiated in Psychology and Computer Science has reached the Social Sciences and Humanities that traditionally study art and culture. The new encounter of academic disciplines poses challenges for researchers, teachers and students. At the first glance incompatible conceptualizations of the objects of investigation (here works of art and their creation and perception) and differences in applied methodologies (quantitative vs. qualitative) require skills in interdisciplinary scientific communication.
The univie: summer school in Cognitive Science will bring together scholars from neuroscience, psychology, philosophy and art history, to explore the new paradigms of empirical aesthetics, neuroaesthetics, cognitive science and empirical methods (fMRI, Eye Tracking, Facial EMG) in theory and practice. It is addressed to PhD students of the arts, humanities and social sciences. Post Docs in the humanities who want to broaden their expertise on empirical methods and
motivated/advanced Master students with experience in interdisciplinary work are welcome to apply.
Participants will have the opportunity to attend all key-note lectures and the parallel presentation sessions with the leading researchers of the international congress of the IAEA 2016.
Excursions to important institutions in Vienna will round off this inspiring late summer experience.
