See you there?

It feels easy to say what is beautiful, but, we still don't understand how we evaluate this. Mikuni et al. (2024), doi.org/10.1038/s41598…, examined these questions in a cross-cultural study for artworks, showing both universal and cultural factors influencing beauty judgements.

Dal 17 al 19 ottobre si terrà la terza conferenza internazionale sulla bellezza e il cambiamento organizzata con il BIP Group. Maggiori info qui fondazioneamendola.it/eventi/general…

Good morning people in aesthetics and empirical aesthetics! Here we are thrilled to start Beauty and Change FondazioneAmendola ! Are you coming?

This looks fantastic 👇🏼

After missing the first 2 editions of the Int’l Conf on Beauty & Change, it’s an enormous pleasure to be in lovely (if rainy!) Torino to attend the 3rd edition in person, with fellow SBS team members Ionela Bara & Courtney Casale! Big thanks to Irene Ronga & Jacopo Frascaroli! 🫶🧠🎨🇮🇹

Had an amazing time presenting our latest research w/Emily S. Cross on how observed touch in visual art impacts viewers' emotions and aesthetic appreciation at the Beauty & Change conference in Turin! Big thanks to Irene Ronga Jacopo Frascaroli Also loved visiting Musei Reali Torino

It was nothing short of inspiring to watch #TeamSBS’s own Dr. Ionela Bara present her work on the aesthetics of affective touch at the Beauty & Change conference in Turin today! Utterly brilliant work, Ionela, and what an outstanding presentation of this fine research! 🖼️ 🎨 🫂

Grazi BIP Group for the opportunity to talk about my current project OrDiV that looks at the art experience across contexts. Thanks to those who asked me questions about my poster & to all the insightful speakers. Amo la nostra professione 🤎🏹 ARTIS Eva_Lab

Congrats to all the early career researchers who did poster presentations at BIP Group Conference on Beauty & Change: “Aesthetics & Human Flourishing: Theories, Experiments and Applications”. Loved learning what all our international psychologists & philosophers are cooking up.

Two days ago I had the honor to talk about #DesignForAll at the 3rd Conference on #BeautyandChange at FondazioneAmendola, I am so grateful for this opportunity and for the people I’ve met! Thank you BIP Group for this amazing event and all of those who are now my academic family 🤍

New theory out! What do you get when you mix music and emotion regulation literature with the functions of music and explanations of music-induced emotions? You get a new theory called the 'Episode Model of Emotional Experiences of Music' 1/5

How do we evaluate artworks? and more specifically, how do artwork features lead to art experiences? These complex questions are tackled in our new publication, Spee et al. (2024) using machine-learning! Wanna know the answer? Check out: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Cold hands, altered ownership? We link disturbed body ownership in stroke patients to reduced hand temperature and impaired thermoception. The right Insula & Parietal hubs are key players. We are excited to share our new findings Nature Communications ➡️rdcu.be/d5SDU

While we sadly had to say goodbye to Eva in the EVAlabs, two new people will have the chance to say hello to her at her new lab in Tübingen. iwm-tuebingen.de/www/en/karrier…

The CfA for the Third International Conference on Beauty and Change is live! Join us and our amazing lineup of speakers for an exploration of this year’s theme: "Aesthetics and the Drive for Knowledge." Details here: fondazioneamendola.it/eventi/general…

Do aesthetic experiences require real sensory input, or can mental imagery evoke them just as powerfully? Our study shows that vivid mental imagery alone can trigger aesthetic experiences nearly indistinguishable from those caused by real sensory input! doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…

Only a little over a week to submit your contribution to the fourth edition of our International Conference on Beauty and Change. Find all the information here: fondazioneamendola.it/eventi/general… See you in october!
