Neuroaesthetics Conference Call: Universality of Aesthetic Experience in
Individual Contexts

22-26 February 2023, Suceava, Romania

UPDATED 1 November 2022

The Neuroaesthetics Lab at the University of Suceava, in collaboration with
NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) and the University of
Bergen, invites participation to its inaugural international conference. The
conference title intentionally suggests a broad scope, inviting reflection
and debate on the interplay between biological universals involved in
aesthetic perception and geographically and/or socially situated cultural
contexts. The conference title also alludes to the empirical approach
developed by the German experimental psychologist and philosopher, Theodor
Fechner, in 1876: ‘aesthetics from below’ requires the study of a phenomenon
using empirical and scientific analysis methods, whereas ‘aesthetics from
above’ refers to the birds-eye view provided by philosophers and to the
assessment of a phenomenon through deep introspection, offered by
philosophers of art, as well as the artists themselves, through their work.
We therefore aim to select a balanced set of paper presentations, posters,
or workshop proposals that use quantitative methods (studying ‘aesthetics
from below’), qualitative methods (studying ‘aesthetics from above’), or,
indeed, combinations of both. Artists who wish to present work that links to
neuroscience or psychological science are warmly invited to participate. The
conference is funded  through the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014 -2021 –
Norway Grants within the PoeticA project (RO-NO-2019-0091). There is no
conference fee.

In partnership with the academic journal, Behavioral Sciences (Q1, Impact
Factor: 2.286 [2021]; 5-Year Impact Factor: 3.070 [2021]), selected
article-length papers derived from conference presentations will be
published in a special edition provisionally entitled Neuroaesthetics
perspectives on the universality of aesthetic experience. A 50-100% discount
for the article processing charge will be offered to contributors.
