本文提出了一个书面文本的审美判断的神经科学研究。在一项功能磁共振成像实验中，参与者阅读了一些谚语，但没有明确评估它们。在扫描后的评级中，他们对每个物品的熟悉度和美观度进行了评级。这些个人评级与功能数据相关，以探讨内隐审美判断的神经相关。我们确定了BOLD活动与个人扫描后美容评级相关的集群。这表明，在阅读过程中会发生一些自发的审美评价，即使不是任务所要求的。在腹侧纹状体和内侧前额叶皮层中发现了正相关，这可能反映了审美愉悦的句子的奖励性质。相反，在经典的左额颞阅读网络中观察到负相关。中线结构和双侧颞顶区与熟悉度呈正相关，这表明随着熟悉度的增加，任务网络向默认网络的转变。(C)2012 Elsevier Inc.

This paper presents a neuroscientific study of aesthetic judgments on written texts. In an fMRI experiment participants read a number of proverbs without explicitly evaluating them. In a post-scan rating they rated each item for familiarity and beauty. These individual ratings were correlated with the functional data to investigate the neural correlates of implicit aesthetic judgments. We identified clusters in which BOLD activity was correlated with individual post-scan beauty ratings. This indicates that some spontaneous aesthetic evaluation takes place during reading, even if not required by the task. Positive correlations were found in the ventral striatum and in medial prefrontal cortex, likely reflecting the rewarding nature of sentences that are aesthetically pleasing. On the contrary, negative correlations were observed in the classic left frontotemporal reading network. Midline structures and bilateral temporoparietal regions correlated positively with familiarity, suggesting a shift from the task-network towards the default network with increasing familiarity.
