Abstract

Much research has been done to show where in the brain there is similar activity for different kinds of beauty judgments. In the article under discussion, the authors set out to determine where in the brain unique information about different kinds of beauty is found. In their experiment, participants made beauty judgments of faces and landscapes while their brain activity was measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). By using an analysis technique that focused on patterns of activity rather than overall activation, the authors showed that the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) contained unique information about each type of beauty. Understanding more about the neuroscience of how modern people evaluate beauty may help uncover larger truths about the history of human culture and art.

各种各样的美和前额皮质
很多研究都表明,大脑的哪个部位对不同类型的美丽判断有类似的活动。在这篇讨论中的文章中,作者着手确定大脑中关于不同类型美的独特信息的位置。在他们的实验中,研究人员用功能性磁共振成像(fMRI)测量了参与者对面孔和风景的美丽判断。通过使用一种专注于活动模式而非整体活动的分析技术,作者表明,腹内侧前额叶皮层(vmPFC)包含了关于每种类型的美的独特信息。更多地了解现代人如何评价美的神经科学,可能有助于揭示人类文化和艺术历史的更大真相。
