Art, Geometry and Cognition
The objective of this course is to provide advanced students in cognitive science, humanities and science with the tools to analyze and understand how neural activity in many areas of the brain shows a geometrical ordering that can be thought to occur in topological manifolds that is important for spatial and explicit memory encoding, the neural code. The second goal of the class is to explore the geometrical representation of art with the corresponding map of the brain topology that supports the original artistic representation.
