Supercomplexity: bridging the gap between aesthetics and cognition by Alessandro Bortolotti, Giulia Candeloro, Riccardo Palumbo, Pier Luigi Sacco, Pier Luigi Sacco

“…These experiences are distinguished by five essential characteristics: (1) simultaneous engagement of multiple neural networks, (2) specialized neural architectures developed through training, (3) specialized conceptual frameworks and vocabularies, (4) emergent properties from dynamic interactions, and (5) coherent gestalt properties. Through examination of expert performance in domains such as wine tasting, musical performance, visual art, perfumery, and several others we reveal how these experiences are characterized by sophisticated integration of sensory, emotional, and cognitive processes, implemented through dynamic network interactions and expertise-dependent neural plasticity. …”
