Neuroarchitecture
Architectural spaces are anchors for our memory. We find our place in the room by means of our sensory perception; the brain makes use of surfaces and spatial systems in order to organize the world we live in. Taking this principle as a given, this volume tracks what happens when the results of recent neuroscientific research are applied to architectural practice. In this volume, architectural theorist Christoph Metzger analyzes buildings designed by Alvar Aalto, Sou Fujimoto, Hugo Häring, Philip Johnson, Hermann Muthesius, Juhani Pallasmaa, James Stirling, Frank Lloyd Wright and Peter Zumthor in order to develop criteria for a modern, human-focused architecture that builds on neuroscientific knowledge. Neuroarchitecture links neuroscience, perception theory and Gestalt psychology, as well as music, art and architecture, in a holistic approach that focuses on the laws of structure formation and the movement of the individual within architectural space.

Der Einfluss kultureller Rahmenbedingungen auf Produktassoziationen und -einstellungen
In der vorliegenden Dissertation wurde erstmalig der kulturelle Einfluss auf die assoziative Verarbeitung einzelner Produktcharakteristika untersucht. Dazu wurde ein holistisches, mehrstufiges Analyseverfahren eingesetzt. Eingangs wurden mittels eines qualitativen Mappings die zu untersuchenden Produktstimuli explorativ ausgewählt. Anschließend wurden unter Zuhilfenahme eines Expertenpanels in einer deskriptiven Analyse die multisensualen Produktbestandteile identifiziert. Auf Basis der Ergebnisse durchgeführter qualitativer Fokusgruppen konnten anschließend in einem Konsumententest die produktrelevanten Assoziationen von zwei verschiedenen Kulturen quantifiziert werden. Durch eine Verknüpfung der deskriptiven Daten und der Assoziationsdaten konnte letztlich der moderierende Einfluss der Kultur auf Produktassoziationen und -einstellungen bestätigt werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass (1) dieselben Produktbestandteile kulturbedingt unterschiedliche Assoziationen auslösen, (2) kulturverschiedene (implizite und explizite) Produkteinstellungen vorherrschen und (3) diese Einstellungen durch unterschiedliche Produktbestandteile in den beiden Kulturen bedingt sind.
The Brain and the Inner World
This work is an eagerly awaited account of this momentous and ongoing revolution, elaborated for the general reader by two pioneers of the field. The book takes the nonspecialist reader on a guided tour through the exciting new discoveries, pointing out along the way how old psychodynamic concepts are being forged into a new scientific framework for understanding subjective experience – in health and disease.
The Quest
In The Quest Mircea Eliade stresses the cultural function that a study of the history of religions can play in a secularized society. He writes for the intelligent general reader in the hope that what he calls a new humanism "will be engendered by a confrontation of modern Western man with unknown or less familiar worlds of meaning." "Each of these essays contains insights which will be fruitful and challenging for professional students of religion, but at the same time they all retain the kind of cultural relevance and clarity of style which makes them accessible to anyone seriously concerned with man and his religious possibilities."—Joseph M. Kitagawa, Religious Education
The Aesthetic Brain
The Aesthetic Brain takes the reader on a wide-ranging journey addressing fundamental questions about aesthetics and art. Using neuroscience and evolutionary psychology, Chatterjee shows how beauty, pleasure, and art are grounded biologically, and offers explanations for why beauty, pleasure, and art exist at all.

Reductionism in Art and Brain Science
Are art and science separated by an unbridgeable divide? Can they find common ground? In this new book, neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel, whose remarkable scientific career and deep interest in art give him a unique perspective, demonstrates how science can inform the way we experience a work of art and seek to understand its meaning. Kandel illustrates how reductionism—the distillation of larger scientific or aesthetic concepts into smaller, more tractable components—has been used by scientists and artists alike to pursue their respective truths. He draws on his Nobel Prize-winning work revealing the neurobiological underpinnings of learning and memory in sea slugs to shed light on the com...
