Affective Perception - Synchronization Effects - Design
Projekt Team:

Project Description:
What constitutes synchronization effects (coordination processes) of opinions, ideas, attitudes in a community? Why and how do they occur? To what extent does this also take place through images?
They are the neuroscientist Giuseppe Di Cesare from the research group form Parma in Italy on mirror neurons and vitality forms and philosopher and image scientist Martina Sauer form the Institute for Image and Cultural Philosophy from Germany and her research on vitality semiotics (VS) and her former student, the B.A. candidate in design, Charlotte Engelke, form the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences, AMD, Hamburg, who in their joint research project in Parma are specifically investigating on a neuroscientific basis how synchronization effects are stimulated through design.
