ABSTRACT
This chapter reflects on the emerging field of Neuroaesthetics, artistic research, and the connection of mind and emotions in the realm of artistic creation. It also explores the connection between the multidisciplinary field of Neuroaesthetics and the multidisciplinary approach of artistic research while promoting this form of practice-based research methodology for emancipatory strategies within academia. It shows different approaches within fields of Neuroaesthetics, as proposed by Charles T. Wolfe, and describes artistic research by demonstrating the capability of such a methodology. Finally, it reflects on the connection between Neuroaesthetics and artistic research while arguing for a connection between mind and emotion to expand mediated experiences for artistic creation.
