Educational Goals
The course is an introduction to the processes of perception, and the impact that these processes, along with the development of cognitive sciences,bring to the existing cultural and scientific dimensions, as well as their importance in the context of technological research.
Description
Cognitive sciences are going through a time of great development in the scientific community; in particular, they are increasingly applied to research on aesthetic appreciation and creative processes. Perception, neurosciences and neurobiology play a central role in the exploitation and for this, the course will provide information about the mechanisms activated during perception and aesthetic experience when interacting with a digital application. The course will also aim to explore various possible paradigms of interaction, both classical, like the ego-esocentric metaphors, as well as advanced such as the enaction, a form of learning and awareness based on bodily presence and movements.
