General Audience Summary This proposal requests support for an international interdisciplinary conference to take place at the University of California at Irvine in December 2016. The goal is to establish a new interdisciplinary field of inquiry, which brings together cognitive neuroscience and arts by bringing about a complex conversation encompassing neuroscience, cognitive science, anthropology, design, human-computer interaction, the arts, and philosophy. The conference seeks to bring together approximately 200-250 attendees encompassing all levels of faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate and undergraduate students from the sciences, arts, social sciences, and humanities. Participants will include designers/ theorists from Holland, an art historian from Mexico, and cognitive neuroscientists from all over the country. The project will integrate research and education by creating a new undergraduate preparatory class, which will introduce students from all disciplines on the UC Irvine campus to research at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and the arts. Proceedings and video documentation of the conference will be freely available, and an affiliated three-month public exhibition will serve to address the societal implications of this research.Technical Summary This conference will bring the arts and sciences together in a new context that holds the promise of new opportunities for research; arts and cultural practices have for long confounded cognitive scientific explanation, and have been excluded from consideration as cognition. The conference seeks to leverage current neurocognitive research and the perspectives of embodied, distributed, and enactive cognition to develop new discourses in arts and cultural practices. It also seeks to generate international interest in the new coalition of cognitive research and theory that justifies a (qualified) rejection of cognitivist/computationalist paradigms of cognition. Meeting these goals will serve to define a new interdisciplinary field, consistent with the embodied and material turns, but inherently critical, for example, of some aspects of neuroaesthetics. Finally, the conference will enable artists worldwide to use the latest developments in cognitive neuroscience to inform their artistic practice, and it will enable scientists in these disciplines to use the insights from these new art forms as the basis for new collaborative research with cognitive neuroscientists.

本提案请求支持将于2016年12月在加州大学欧文分校举行的国际跨学科会议。目标是建立一个新的跨学科研究领域，通过开展涵盖神经科学、认知科学、人类学、设计、人机交互、艺术和哲学的复杂对话，将认知神经科学和艺术结合在一起。会议旨在汇集约200-250名与会者，包括来自科学，艺术，社会科学和人文科学的各级教师，博士后学者以及研究生和本科生。与会者将包括来自荷兰的设计师/理论家，来自墨西哥的艺术史学家和来自全国各地的认知神经科学家。该项目将通过创建一个新的本科预科班来整合研究和教育，该预科班将介绍来自加州大学欧文分校校园所有学科的学生在认知神经科学和艺术的交叉点进行研究。会议的会议记录和视频文件将免费提供，附属的为期三个月的公开展览将致力于解决这项研究的社会影响。技术摘要这次会议将把艺术和科学聚集在一个新的背景下，为研究提供新的机会;长期以来，艺术和文化实践混淆了认知科学解释，被排除在认知之外。会议旨在利用当前的神经认知研究和体现，分布式和生成认知的观点，以发展艺术和文化实践的新话语。它还试图引起国际社会对认知研究和理论的新联盟的兴趣，这种联盟证明了对认知主义/计算主义认知范式的（有条件的）拒绝。满足这些目标将有助于定义一个新的跨学科领域，与体现和材料转向一致，但本质上是关键的，例如，神经美学的某些方面。最后，会议将使世界各地的艺术家能够利用认知神经科学的最新发展来指导他们的艺术实践，并使这些学科的科学家能够利用这些新艺术形式的见解作为与认知神经科学家进行新的合作研究的基础。
