Research-based artistic practices conceptually and technologically intervene with various fields of science and the humanities, while carrying out their research process on interdisciplinary methodologies with the aim of creating a work of art rather than formulating a scientific theory. The text initially outlines the relationship between theory and practice, and the methodological specificities of artistic research in relation to research in science. Further on, it illuminates methods, conceptual and contextual issues of instrumental art research and provides a systematization of artistic practices that introduce neuroscience and neurotechnology at certain stages of the creative process. The analysis of examples of selected artworks is based on the division of artistic approaches that use various neuro-research technologies – functional magnetic resonance imaging, brain wave measurement, mobile eye tracking – in interactive works (affective aspect), use radiological visualizations of the brain to create associations and poetic metaphors (rhetorical and metaphorical aspect), or explore the potential of neuromorphic and sensorial technologies in the field of generative artificial intelligence and robotic art (performative aspect).
