[Comp-neuro] NeuroArts 3 - Noise: as glue, as buoyancy

NeuroArts 3 - Noise: as glue, as buoyancy.
Plymouth University, UK
June 28th-29th 2012

This symposium will consider 'noise as the glue between internal and
external experience, a link between sensing and cognition, memory and
perception'. Noise may be considered as a residue of memory,
temporarily rupturing the present. For many noise is the result of
overstimulation manifested as ringing in a space that is some place
and no place. Noise is the kick that enables physical systems to
explore potential dynamical possibilities. Noise is the underlying
endogenous stimulation of the brain, a platform for cognition but also
a place of danger where cultural and political manipulation may happen.

NeuroArts brings together artists, scientists and philosophers to
share ideas and present and their work. The conference is an
interdisciplinary exploration and interrogation of the field, an
exchange of ideas between artists, writers, experimenters and
theoreticians. Rather than examining artistic practice to illustrate
and understand concepts in Brain research, NeuroArts emphasizes how
research into perception and cognition are influencing artistic and
cultural practice. These ideas are multi-scale; from the level of the
cell to the small cellular network to the behavioural level of selves,
interacting humans and human-environmental interactions. The symposium
is co-ordinated by Jane Grant and John Matthias, directors of the art
+ sound Research Group in the MADr Research Centre at Plymouth
University, UK.
