Emotion
‘The painting will move the soul of the beholder when
the people painted there each clearly shows the
movement of his own soul...we weep with the weeping,
laugh with the laughing, and grieve with the
grieving. These movements of the soul are known
from the movements of the body.’
Leon Battista Alberti (1404-72)Renaissance humanist and polymath

Emotions
Empathetic Response
Embodied Simulation
•Human capacity to empathize with others’ behaviors and experiences i.e. to pre-rationally make sense of the actions, emotions and sensations of others
•What human’s see activates their own internal representation of the body state seen

Human response to art is not
purely introspective
intuitive
metaphysical
It is based in physical changes in the brain.

Observing manipulable objects like tools leads to the activation of motor regions of the brain that control our interactions with the same object – not just the region of the brain associated with representation.

When we see two objects touching our somatosensory cortices are activated as if our body were subject to tactile stimulation

Our brains can reconstruct actions by merely observing the static graphic outcome of the agent’s past action.

Our brains can reconstruct actions by merely observing the static graphic outcome of the agent’s past action.
Observers experience a sense of bodily involvement with the movemnts that are implied by physical traces of creative action.

Emotions
Empathetic feel can no longer be regarded as a matter of simple intuition and can be precisely located in the relevant areas of the brain that are activated both in the observed and the observer.

1. “Our capacity to pre-rationally make sense of the actions, emotions and sensations of others depends on embodied simulation.
2. “… brain imaging experiments in humans have shown that observation of manipulable objects like tools…. Leads to the activation of … a cortical region that is normally considered to be involved in the control of action and not in the representation of objects.
3. “…electromyographic responses in the facial muscles of observers are congruent with those involved in the observed person’s facial expressions.”
Discuss in context of the images we have seen. Use examples to show us what these statements mean.
