Funded Activity Summary

From sensation to aesthetic appreciation. This project aims to understand the perceptual foundations of aesthetics. The experience of beauty is among the most compelling aspects of our interaction with the world but understanding aesthetic appreciation is difficult, because aesthetic experience varies between individuals, and is assumed to be influenced by culture, context and taste. In contrast, this project offers an account of aesthetic experience which connects the aesthetic object, the perceptual processing of its properties and the resulting affective responses. Outcomes from this project will have potential applications in creative settings from design of pleasing visual surroundings to user experience and advertising.
