Aesthetics is a discipline that, within the psychological field, has been studied over the decades by different approaches, including the gestalt and cognitivist ones. In 2005, Chatterjee, [5] stressed the need to use a research approach able to integrate neuroaesthetics with an analytical description of the features of visual stimuli in order to obtain quantifiable parameters.

It is an emerging multidisciplinary field of inquiry, closely related to the psychology of aesthetics, including neuroaesthetics. [1] [2] The psychology of art encompasses experimental methods for the qualitative examination of psychological responses to art, as well as an empirical study of their neurobiological correlates through neuroimaging.
Cognitive ergonomics (sometimes known as cognitive engineering though this was an earlier field) is an emerging branch of ergonomics. It places particular emphasis on the analysis of cognitive processes required of operators in modern industries and similar milieus. This can be done by studying cognition in work and operational settings.
