Art, Artists, and Perception: A Model for Premotor Contributions to Perceptual Analysis and Form Recognition
William P. Seeley,Aaron Kozbelt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that endogenous shifts of visual attention enhance the encoding of expected features in the visual field and inhibit the perception of potential distracters, and demonstrate complementary roles for spatial schemata and motor plans in visual attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Naturalizing aesthetics: art and the cognitive neuroscience of vision
TL;DR: The authors examine three approaches to cognitive science and aesthetics that rest on a tacit assumption of Baumgarten's program, which is that artists' formal methods are a means to cull the structural features necessary for constructing clear perceptual representations from a dense flux of sensory information.
Journal ArticleDOI
