معرفی
Andreas Gartus is a researcher at the Faculty of Psychology, University of Vienna, affiliated with the Department of Cognition, Emotion, and Methods in Psychology. His work focuses on empirical aesthetics, exploring how visual features like symmetry and complexity influence aesthetic experiences in art and everyday life. He is responsible for managing the Cognition Research Lab, EEG Lab Vienna, and the EVA LAB (Empirical Visual Aesthetics). His research integrates computational methods, statistical analysis, and neurophysiological techniques to study emotional responses to art, embodied cognition, and decision-making processes.
Key research areas include the psychological and neural mechanisms behind aesthetic judgments, the role of context in art perception, and the application of machine learning to analyze visual stimuli. He has contributed to over 28 peer-reviewed publications since 2011, with recent work examining movement behavior in art galleries, symmetry preferences, and emotional video analysis. His activities include international conference presentations and collaborations across disciplines.
His studies often address how embodied experiences (e.g., facial muscle responses, movement) interact with aesthetic evaluation, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to understanding human perception and emotion. Despite no listed awards, his extensive publication record highlights sustained contributions to empirical aesthetic research.
