Dreaming and Neuroesthetics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper, which is limited to the art of painting, aims to support the idea that a substantial insertion of concepts and methods drawn on dream psychology and dream neuroscience can contribute to the advancements of Neuroesthetics. The historical and scientific reasons are discussed that have determined the so far poor role played by the dream phenomenon in the developments of Neuroesthetics. In the light of recent advancements in psychophysiological research, a method of analyzing artistic products is proposed that is based on the recognition of precise features proper of the dreaming experience. Four examples are given for application of this method, regarding works by Giorgione, Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer, and Millais, respectively.

Hobson (2009) highlights the contribution of lucid dreaming research to the field of consciousness study. Hobson (2009) also sites a lack of paradigms and theoretical models of consciousness to advance lucid dreaming research.

متن کاملDreaming and REM sleep are controlled by different brain mechanisms.
The paradigmatic assumption that REM sleep is the physiological equivalent of dreaming is in need of fundamental revision.

Recent neuropsychological, radiological, and pharmacological findings suggest that the cholinergic brain stem mechanisms that co...
