Abstract

Aesthetic processing is about what we like and dislike. It applies to all types of perceived objects, not just art works. There should be a general brain network that deals with aesthetic appraisals of like and dislike regardless of the appraised object. In order to investigate this, the authors carried out a large-scale meta-analysis of published neuroimaging studies of aesthetic processing for objects that are perceived using four different sensory pathways: vision, audition, taste, and smell. A part of the brain called the anterior insula appeared as the most concordant area of activation across the four sensory pathways. From an evolutionary standpoint, it most likely that the appreciation of human artifacts like art works piggybacked onto an existing system for the appraisal of objects of biological importance, such as food sources and potential mates.

自然化美学
审美处理是关于我们喜欢什么和不喜欢什么。它适用于所有类型的感知对象,而不仅仅是艺术作品。应该有一个通用的大脑网络来处理对喜欢和不喜欢的审美评价,而不管被评价的对象是什么。为了调查这一点,作者对已发表的关于物体审美处理的神经影像学研究进行了大规模的荟萃分析,这些研究使用四种不同的感官途径:视觉、听觉、味觉和嗅觉。大脑中被称为前脑岛的部分似乎是四个感觉通路中最一致的激活区域。从进化的角度来看,最有可能的是,人类对艺术品等人工制品的欣赏,是建立在对食物来源和潜在伴侣等生物重要性物品进行评估的现有系统之上的。
