Psychocinematics Summary

Psychocinematics: Exploring Cognition at the Movies by Arthur P. Shimamura (, Professor of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley, USA)

Largely through trial and error, filmmakers have developed engaging techniques that capture our sensations, thoughts, and feelings. Philosophers and film theorists have thought deeply about the nature and impact of these techniques, yet few scientists have delved into empirical analyses of our movie experience-or what Arthur P. Shimamura has coined "psychocinematics." This edited volume introduces this exciting field by bringing together film theorists, philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists to consider the viability of a scientific approach to our movie experience.

Psychocinematics Reviews

Psychocinematics is a heroic start at bringing the worlds of psychology and cinema - too long estranged from one another - back together. * Sarah Kass, PsychCritiques *
