William P. Seeley Substitute Instructor Department of Philosophy 3308 Boylan Hall (718) 951-5311 pseeley@msn.com
Research Interests:
Cognitive Science, Aesthetics, Philosophy of
Mind. My principle 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. My work has been exhibited in New York City,
Tokyo, The Addison Gallery of American Art, and Yale University.
