Argue Position on Whether Aesthetic Experience can be Scientifically Measured

Abstract

Whether aesthetic experience can be scientifically measured has always been a controversial topic. In the field of cognitive neuroscience, researchers are more convinced that aesthetic experience can be scientifically measured. This paper first analyses the view that aesthetic experience cannot be measured scientifically and presents arguments against it. Then it goes further to demonstrate why this paper argues that aesthetic experience can be measured scientifically by drawing on the theories and research methods of cognitive neuroscience.
