Subject: empirical aesthetics; image analysis
Humanists may not know about the International Association of Empirical
Aesthetics, <http://www.ume.maine.edu/~iaea/>, founded in 1965 for
"empirical studies of creativity, aesthetics, and of the arts, literature,
and music. Most members are anthropologists, psychologists, semioticians,
and sociologists. However, a number are practicing artists, humanistic
scholars, and philosophers who have an interest in empirical studies of the
arts." Its forthcoming conference, to take place in Rome in late September,
is a promising event.
Among the items on the IAEA links page is NIH Image, image analysis software
for Macintosh, converted to Windows 95/NT by Scion Corporation,
<http://www.scioncorp.com/>, and to Java by NIH,
<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/>. Reports on experiences with this software
would be most welcome.
