William P. Seeley Visiting Assistant Professor Department of Philosophy Box 3003 Lancaster,
PA, 17604 – 3003
Research Interests:
Cognitive Science, Aesthetics, Philosophy
of Mind. My primary research
interests are in aesthetics and the cognitive neuroscience of vision and
concern attempts to understand and explain art and aesthetic experience in
terms of the operation of perceptual systems. Current research includes a study
of the role drawing skill plays in conferring an
advantage to artists over non-artists in visual recognition tasks and
the ongoing project of providing a role for cognitive neuroscience in
explanations of art and aesthetic experience. I am also a sculptor.
