Mark Elliott is a psychology lecturer in NUIG. He specialises in aesthetics so it might be an interesting angle to look at. I spoke to him about it a few months ago and he seems interested in taking part.

”Mark was awarded a first-class honours degree in psychology from the Open University (UK, 1988-1994), studied Cognitive Science between 1993 – 1994 at the University of Birmingham and graduated with a Masters and Doctorate in Philosophy from the University of London in 1998. After several years as a social worker, Mark returned to education and, following completion of his PhD at the University of London, took up a research fellow’s position at the Universität Leipzig. Immediately prior to his appointment as senior lecturer at NUI Galway Mark was employed as an assistant professor at the Ludwig-Maximilians Universität in Munich. He was an Honorary Research Fellow of Birkbeck College, University of London, UK. Mark is a Chartered Scientist, was President of the International Society for Psychophysics and has been commissioned by the EC to advise universities in EU candidate states on curricula and research.”
