The neural time course of art perception: An ERP study on the processing of style versus content in art

► Style and content: key features to study processes of art perception. ► Style: art-specific, content: similar to “normal” object and scene perception. ► Current study shows: style follows content in terms of underlying neural processes. ► Style available for classification at ca. 224 ms or between 40 and 94 ms after content. ► Paradigm employed is promising to further uncover the time course of art perception.
