在过去的三十年里,有很多关于神经退行性疾病的报道,或其他形式的大脑变化,他们还展示了他们如何接近和产生视觉艺术的推定变化。作者认为,这些案件可能提供了独特的证据,所谓的“艺术特征”神经退行性疾病,可以用来理解疾病,提供诊断,用于治疗,为因果关系研究创造可检验的假设模式,并提供对大脑之间神经生物学联系的独特见解,大脑,身体,以及人类对艺术创作本身的爱好。然而,在我们开始有意义地从这些新出现的发现中建立之前,更不用说制定申请了——不仅这些证据目前相当不同,需要系统审查,几乎所有的病例报告和艺术品评级都是完全主观的,基于作者的个人观察或可能不符合潜在研究目标的稀疏方法集合。这导致了一个非常现实的问题,即如果适合严格的审查,我们是否真的可以找到系统变化的模式-我们真的可以“阅读”艺术来阐明大脑中可能的变化吗?临床,和艺术相关的研究?本文对这一领域进行了回顾,并回答了这些问题。我们考虑目前的七种主要疾病的病例报告-阿尔茨海默病和帕金森病,额颞叶和路易体痴呆,皮质基底变性,失语症,以及与艺术创作和批评过去方法相关的因素和变化的中风巩固论点。从这些论文中发表的作品来看,然后我们进行自己的评估,采用计算机化和以人为本的方法,我们认为这是识别风格或创造力/质量变化的最佳实践。我们建议,的确,一些针对特定疾病的艺术创作中的系统模式的证据,还发现案例作者与我们自己的评估表现出相当高的一致性。更重要的是,通过打开这个话题和过去的证据进行系统的回顾,我们希望展开讨论,为未来艺术创作与神经典型交叉的应用和研究提供理论和实证基础,改变了,和艺术大脑。
The past three decades have seen multiple
reports of people with neurodegenerative disorders, or other forms of changes in their brains, who also show putative changes in how they approach and produce visual art. Authors argue that these cases may provide a unique body of evidence, so-called \'artistic signatures\' of neurodegenerative diseases, that might be used to understand disorders, provide diagnoses, be employed in treatment, create patterns of testable hypotheses for causative study, and also provide unique insight into the neurobiological linkages between the mind, brain, body, and the human penchant for art-making itself. However-before we can begin to meaningfully build from such emerging findings, much less formulate applications-not only is such evidence currently quite disparate and in need of systematic review, almost all
case reports and artwork ratings are entirely subjective, based on authors\' personal observations or a sparse collection of methods that may not best fit underlying research aims. This leads to the very real question of whether we might actually find patterns of systematic change if fit to a rigorous review-Can we really \'read\' art to illuminate possible changes in the brain? How might we best approach this topic in future neuroscientific, clinical, and art-related research? This paper presents a review of this field and answer to these questions. We consider the current
case reports for seven main disorders-Alzheimer\'s and Parkinson\'s disease, frontotemporal and Lewy body dementia, corticobasal degeneration, aphasia, as well as stroke-consolidating arguments for factors and changes related to art-making and critiquing past methods. Taking the published artworks from these papers, we then conduct our own assessment, employing computerized and human-rater-based approaches, which we argue represent best practice to identify stylistic or creativity/quality changes. We suggest, indeed, some evidence for systematic patterns in art-making for specific disorders and also find that
case authors showed rather high agreement with our own assessments. More important, through opening this topic and past evidence to a systematic review, we hope to open a discussion and provide a theoretical and empirical foundation for future application and research on the intersection of art-making and the neurotypical, the changed, and the artistic brain.
