商品描述

This book investigates the complex interrelationships between neuroscience, arts, technical design, and the spectrum of neurodivergent conditions, introducing the emerging topic of neuroarts. It emphasizes the power of art and technologies as a multisensory tool for helping neurodivergent individuals discover their sensory preferences, and for neurotypical individuals to broaden their understanding of the world by simulating different sensory experiences. Drawing on the enactivism theory, which posits that cognitive processes are inherently shaped through the dynamic interplay between an organism and its environmental context, the authors discuss the applications of emerging technologies and propose a new theory to discuss and identify 'neurotribes' based on their relation to sense making or the body.
A timely and well-needed resource for scholars in the fields of neuroaesthetics and neurodiversity, as well as art therapists, clinical psychologists, and medical practitioners specializing in neurodiversity and sensory perception disorders, this book can also serve cultural institutions developing inclusive experiences for a neurodiverse public, and professionals in the tech industry focusing on AI, augmented reality, and sensory technology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了神經科學、藝術、技術設計和神經多樣性條件之間的複雜相互關係,介紹了新興的神經藝術主題。它強調藝術和技術作為一種多感官工具,幫助神經多樣性個體發現他們的感官偏好,並讓神經典型個體通過模擬不同的感官體驗來擴大對世界的理解。作者們基於行動主義理論,該理論認為認知過程在有機體與其環境背景之間的動態相互作用中被塑造,討論了新興技術的應用並提出了一個新的理論,以討論和確定基於它們與感知或身體的關係而劃分的「神經部落」。

這本書對於神經美學和神經多樣性領域的學者、藝術治療師、臨床心理學家和專注於神經多樣性和感知障礙的醫學從業人員來說,是一個及時且必要的資源。同時,這本書還可以為文化機構開發面向神經多樣性公眾的包容性體驗,以及專注於人工智能、擴增實境和感官技術的科技行業專業人士提供參考。
