TAILIEUCHUNG - Intersections of Mathematical, Cognitive, and Aesthetic Theories of Mind

The second shift is methodological in nature. Until recently only two strategies were available for studying the biological mecha- nisms underlying artistic appreciation and creation: first, making theoretical conjectures based on general understanding of brain structure and function; and second, single case-studies of brain injuries affecting art-related activities. The former produced theo- ries that often went untested (and were sometimes untestable), while the latter generated accounts that were often anecdotal, incomplete and difficult to interpret. However, the advent and refinement of non-invasive neuroimaging techniques has permit- ted the empirical study of healthy participants’ aesthetic experi- ences in controlled situations, affording the opportunity to draw general conclusions about the neural processes underlying the. | Psychology of Aesthetics Creativity and the Arts 2010 Vol. 4 No. 1 11-17 In the public domain DOI a0018147 Intersections of Mathematical Cognitive and Aesthetic Theories of Mind Leonid I. Perlovsky Harvard University New mathematical and cognitive theories of the mind are connected to psychological theories of aesthetics. I briefly summarize recent revolutionary advancements toward understanding the mind due to new methods of neuroimaging studies of the brain and new mathematical theories modeling the brain-mind. These new theories describe abilities for concepts emotions instincts imagination adaptation and learning. I consider the operation of these mechanisms in the mind hierarchy. I concentrate on the emotions of satisfaction or dissatisfaction related to understanding or misunderstanding of the surrounding world. These emotions are usually below the threshold of conscious registration at lower levels of object perception . I discuss why and in what sense these emotions are aesthetic I relate them to appraisal emotions and I argue that at higher levels of abstract cognition these emotions are related to the perception of art. The contents of cognitive representations at the top of the mind hierarchy are analyzed and aesthetic appraisal emotions at these highest levels are related to emotions of the beautiful. I emphasize that aesthetic emotions so important in art are not specific to art but to cognition at the highest levels of the mind hierarchy. Keywords beautiful cognition knowledge instinct emotions art In his review of Aesthetics and Psychobiology by Berlyne 1971 Gardner 1974 wrote that the psychology of aesthetics is a subject of great interest to which eminent psychologists devoted much thought. Still he pointed out progress in this area was dismal. This lack of progress is due to the dizzying complexity of the domain and persistent pursuit of. . . fruitless lines of inquiry p. 205 . He identified two of these fruitless directions what motivate
