Beauty and the Brain: The Aesthetic Compass by Robert Thatcher Pdf

About the Book Beauty and the Brain: The Aesthetic Compass NeuroAesthetics: Where Consciousness and the Physics of the Universe Meet explores how we as a society perceive beauty. This fascinating text provides an explanation of how aesthetic appreciation occurs by a match of the structure of the brain and external forms. It also describes the brain mechanisms by which humans perceive beauty and how the logarithmic spiral form common in the universe is the same form inside the human brain. The reader will learn deep truths about how humans perceive beauty by sharing certain fundamental logarithmic spiral brain maps and logarithmic spiral forms external to the brain, such as Hurricanes, Galaxies and Snail Shells.

Feeling Beauty by G. Gabrielle Starr Pdf

Starr argues that understanding the neural underpinnings of aesthetic experience can reshape our conceptions of aesthetics and the arts. Drawing on the tools of both cognitive neuroscience and traditional humanist inquiry, the book shows that neuroaesthetics offers a new model for understanding the dynamic and changing features of aesthetic life, the relationships among the arts, and how individual differences in aesthetic judgment shape the varieties of aesthetic experience.

TRUSTING IN THE TRINITY: Compass Psychotheology Applied by Dr. Dan & Kate Montgomery Pdf

The Trinity, one God in three Persons, sets apart Christianity from other world religions and philosophies. Yet you may wonder who the Trinity really is, and the relevance of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to your daily life. "Trusting In The Trinity" shows you how to know and feel the Trinity's extravagant love. Topics include how the Trinity relates to God's nature and human nature, personality and relationships, holiness and worship, miracles and prayer, science and philosophy, psychology and creativity. Praised by professors at Yale, Fuller, Gordon-Conwell, Dubuque, Andover Newton, and Dallas theological seminaries. Theologian Tremper Longman writes: "Dr. Dan and Kate Montgomery integrate their counseling method with a thoroughly biblical Trinitarian theology and the result is insight that can transform our life and our relationships."

Beauty and the Brain by Rachel E. Walker Pdf

Examining the history of phrenology and physiognomy, Beauty and the Brain proposes a bold new way of understanding the connection between science, politics, and popular culture in early America. Between the 1770s and the 1860s, people all across the globe relied on physiognomy and phrenology to evaluate human worth. These once-popular but now discredited disciplines were based on a deceptively simple premise: that facial features or skull shape could reveal a person’s intelligence, character, and personality. In the United States, these were culturally ubiquitous sciences that both elite thinkers and ordinary people used to understand human nature. While the modern world dismisses phrenology and physiognomy as silly and debunked disciplines, Beauty and the Brain shows why they must be taken seriously: they were the intellectual tools that a diverse group of Americans used to debate questions of race, gender, and social justice. While prominent intellectuals and political thinkers invoked these sciences to justify hierarchy, marginalized people and progressive activists deployed them for their own political aims, creatively interpreting human minds and bodies as they fought for racial justice and gender equality. Ultimately, though, physiognomy and phrenology were as dangerous as they were popular. In addition to validating the idea that external beauty was a sign of internal worth, these disciplines often appealed to the very people who were damaged by their prejudicial doctrines. In taking physiognomy and phrenology seriously, Beauty and the Brain recovers a vibrant—if largely forgotten—cultural and intellectual universe, showing how popular sciences shaped some of the greatest political debates of the American past.

Brain, Beauty, & Art by Anjan Chatterjee,Eileen R. Cardillo Pdf

"When I first started to think about the neural basis of aesthetic experiences in the late 1990s, little was written on the topic. Unlike other domains of psychology, such as attention, or perception, or memory, aesthetics had not gained purchase in cognitive neuroscience. In fact, aesthetics was barely visible in psychology itself despite being rooted in Fechner's writings over a hundred years earlier. In 1999, papers by Zeki (1999) and Ramachandran and Hirstein (1999) were initial forays into scientific aesthetics by established neuroscientists. While undeniably important as initial markers for the field, their papers were but a first step. They were speculative and did not offer a framework for a systematic research program. Scholars in the humanities latched on to these initial papers, in ways that were detrimental to the field. For the most part, they ignored subsequent careful experimental work done by neuroscientists, as if neuroaesthetics began and ended in 1999 (Chatterjee, 2011). Missing in early discussions was a basic question: what would a framework that could guide experimental progress in the neuroscience of aesthetics entail?"--
