[-empyre-] echo objects and Barbara Marie Stafford

[Michele Barker]

I'd like to pursue the discussion around cognition and in doing so  
introduce Barbara Maria Stafford into the debate. Barbara's more  
recent work on the history of images, 'Echo Objects', offers an  
extensive - and diverse - insight into the various cognitive models  
intrinsic to the processes of making, viewing and interpreting visual  
art.

Barbara, by way of starting the discussion, I'll get you to introduce  
yourself and your research as it relates to our theme (again rather  
diverse) of neuroaesthetics.
