Hi all,

As a first year Cognitive Neuroscience graduate student at UCI (University of California, Irvine), I'm conducting my first research experiment.  I decided to take a very nonconventional route to study the arts and sciences collaboratively, and I would like to include the dA community.

I feel we can gain new insights by bringing art and visual sciences together.

So, my research study involves understanding our visual processes and our perception of visual art.  I need to build a database of at least 100 different art works to use in my experiment as visual stimuli to show to subjects participating in the study.  I've began the process of noting some individuals requesting permission to use a couple of their works in the study.

I'm opening this to the community to welcome anyone who would be interested in contributing to the database.  You'll still retain your copyrights and license; I'm just asking for permission to use the works.  Of course you have the right to decline.

There's no monetary gain from this; what we're gaining is a better insight into our visual processing and our perceptions when we're looking at visual art.  Yay, science!

I really would appreciate the help, and I really would love to include you guys in the project.

There is more nuance information about what I'm doing in my journal:  Recruiting Artists for Research ProjectHi all,
I've been semi-inactive for quite a while, and this is all because I've been working on getting into graduate school and starting my research studies that'll lead up to my doctorates.  
So, I started my Ph.D. program at the University of California, Irvine this Fall quarter in September, and now I'm working on my first project.  In particular I'm interested in bringing together the arts and sciences; quite unconventional but I feel there is much we can learn from this collaboration.  I want to study how certain elements in art can affect our visual processing in perception.  In order to start my experiment, I need a database of visual stimuli to work with, and that's where you guys can come in.
For the next couple of weeks, I will noting many of you to recruit your work(s) into a database to be used as stimuli in a research experiment involving visual processing and perception of visual art.  I've write each note individually and personalize it rather t
