Information on the Cognitive Exprinting Rubric (CER) will soon be uploaded here.

These papers represent the ongoing due‑diligence behind the Cognitive Exprinting Rubric (CER). They revisit the foundational premise that visual artworks contain cognitive residue—observable traces of how the mind organizes, regulates, and makes meaning—and assess whether the eight dimensions we identified truly capture that residue. By cross‑checking our model against psychology, neuroscience, and creativity research, we demonstrate that Cognitive Exprinting is being built on a responsible and well‑considered foundation. The reassessment papers document what we have right, what requires refinement, and how we plan to validate the framework through empirical studies, ensuring the field grows with rigor, transparency, and credibility. 

Invitation to Collaborate

Cognitive Exprinting is entering its next phase: moving from conceptual foundation and rubric development into empirical validation and institutional integration. The papers published here document our due diligence—reassessing the premise that artworks contain cognitive residue, refining the eight dimensions of the Cognitive Exprinting Rubric (CER), and outlining validation studies designed to ensure rigor and reproducibility.

We now invite collaboration from professionals across disciplines who share an interest in bridging art and science. Ideal partners include:

• Cognitive scientists and psychologists with expertise in creativity, metacognition, affect regulation, or uncertainty tolerance.

• Neuroscientists and researchers in neuroaesthetics who study how the brain processes art and meaning.

• Art historians, curators, and educators interested in applying cognitive profiling to collections, exhibitions, and pedagogy.

• AI researchers and technologists focused on vision systems, feature extraction, and protocol design.

• Artists and practitioners willing to contribute works for profiling and longitudinal study.

Our goal is to build a field on a responsible, transparent foundation—one that can stand up to peer review and interdisciplinary scrutiny. If you are interested in partnering, testing, or extending this work, we welcome your collaboration. Together, we can establish Cognitive Exprinting as a credible, reproducible, and transformative way of understanding art as mind made visible.
