Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Information
Aims, contents, and method of the course
Students will learn about the topics and methods of two research groups, The Empirical Visual Aesthetics labs (Leder, https://eva.univie.ac.at/) and the ARTIS Lab (Pelowski, www.artislab.org), with Empirical Aesthetics, Neuroaesthetics, Creativity, Art and Neurodegeneration, Arts and Health, and a range of psychology-based applications and assessments of the arts discussed as main themes. As a parallel component, we will also focus a few lectures/class discussions on life as a scientist, academia, and publishing.

A capstone project will also involve (if possible) a museum visit and considering how to set up a possible empirical study in the museum space considering some aspect of art interactions or implications, as discussed in class.

Methods involve: in-class lectures, with an emphasis on active discussion, site visit, preparation of data collection materials (i.e., survey), and write up of a study design. Main classwork will involve the writing of a OSF preregistration template (https://help.osf.io/article/229-select-a-registration-template) for a possible study design, and which provides a template for, e.g., how to write the intro and method of any future studies or master thesis.
