Abstract

Investigation of people with neurological illnesses has been a central approach to understanding the neurobiology of cognitive systems like language, attention, emotions, and decision-making. Yet such lesion studies had not been applied to neuroaesthetics. In the article under discussion, the author reviewed the extant literature and found that artists were not spared the kind of visual-spatial deficits that others experience from brain damage. Rather, in their artwork, they gave eloquent expression of the nature of their deficits. The author was particularly interested in the paradoxical enhancement of some artists whose work seemed to get better following brain injury, and developed a scale, the Assessment of Art Attributes, by which to assess change in artistic style and content. Neuropsychological studies remain a relatively untapped source of information in probing the biology of aesthetic experiences and artistic production.

我们能从神经疾病患者身上学到什么?
对患有神经系统疾病的人进行调查一直是理解认知系统(如语言、注意力、情绪和决策)的神经生物学的核心方法。然而,这种病变研究尚未应用于神经美学。在讨论的文章中,作者回顾了现有的文献,发现艺术家并没有幸免于其他人因脑损伤而经历的那种视觉空间缺陷。相反,在他们的艺术作品中,他们雄辩地表达了他们缺陷的本质。作者特别感兴趣的是,一些艺术家的作品在脑损伤后似乎变得更好,并开发了一个量表,艺术属性的评估,通过它来评估艺术风格和内容的变化。神经心理学研究在探索美学体验和艺术生产的生物学方面仍然是一个相对未开发的信息来源。
