Our new review is now in press!! 👇#neuroaesthetics

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! https://t.co/ERFztKbb9R

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: https://t.co/FbDkEO6xnp

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. https://t.co/wRW3YIjtWI

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 @NatureComms ➡️ https://t.co/irprsp3eJO

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: https://t.co/Z84ltZAjDR

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

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

@court_casale @GroupBip @SciReports @RyssaMoffat Congrats, Courtney! I hope you enjoyed every last minute of your first European conference- what a wonderful one to share your masters work with, while you kick off your PhD journey! 🧠💃🩰🇪🇺🇨🇭

Grazi @GroupBip 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 🤎🏹 @artislabs @EvaLabVienna

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

🇮🇹🧠🩰Was wonderful to share our findings on how embodied experiences impact aesthetic perceptions of dance at the Beauty & Change conference in Turin! Huge thanks @GroupBip! To know more, look out for our paper coming soon in @SciReports✨ @brain_on_dance @RyssaMoffat #TeamSBS

It was nothing short of inspiring to watch #TeamSBS’s own Dr. @BaraIonela 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! 🖼️ 🎨 🫂

Had an amazing time presenting our latest research w/@brain_on_dance on how observed touch in visual art impacts viewers' emotions and aesthetic appreciation at the Beauty & Change conference in Turin! Big thanks to @IreneRonga @J_Frascaroli Also loved visiting @MuseiRealiTo

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 @BaraIonela & @court_casale! Big thanks to @IreneRonga & @J_Frascaroli! 🫶🧠🎨🇮🇹

This looks fantastic 👇🏼

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

Dal 17 al 19 ottobre si terrà la terza conferenza internazionale sulla bellezza e il cambiamento organizzata con il @GroupBip. Maggiori info qui https://t.co/rexHrlaCee

It feels easy to say what is beautiful, but, we still don't understand how we evaluate this. Mikuni et al. (2024), https://t.co/ZY1Gi1KFb4, examined these questions in a cross-cultural study for artworks, showing both universal and cultural factors influencing beauty judgements.

See you there?
