Empirical aesthetics has found its way into mainstream cognitive science. Until now, most research has focused either on identifying the internal processes that underlie a perceiver's aesthetic experience or on identifying the stimulus features that lead to a specific type of aesthetic experience. To progress, empirical aesthetics must integrate these approaches into a unified paradigm that encourages researchers to think in terms of temporal dynamics and interactions between: (i) the stimulus and the perceiver; (ii) different systems within the perceiver; and (iii) different layers of the stimulus. At this critical moment, empirical aesthetics must also clearly identify and define its key concepts, sketch out its agenda, and specify its approach to grow into a coherent and distinct discipline.
实证美学已经进入主流认知科学领域。到目前为止，大多数研究要么侧重于识别潜在审美体验的内在过程，要么侧重于识别产生特定类型审美体验的刺激特征。为了取得进展，实证美学必须将这些方法整合到一个统一的范例中，鼓励研究人员从时间动态和以下方面的相互作用角度进行思考：（i）刺激和感知者；（ii）感知者内部的不同系统；（iii）刺激的不同层次。在这个关键时刻，实证美学还必须明确识别和定义其关键概念，勾勒出其议程，并确定其发展成为一个连贯而独特学科的方法。
