The perception of what we regard or ought to regard as aesthetic depends on the Zeitgeist. Aesthetics was, thus, not an issue in neuropsychology until cognitive psychology revived, leading to a more dynamic conception of brain function. Moreover, interpretations of the aesthetic experience depend on the philosophical viewpoint towards mind and body, i.e., on whether one defends a holistic concept or considers physical and mental processes to be separate entities. Despite changing views on beauty, we believe that rules regarding aesthetic perception in relation to hemispheric processing can be investigated. A purely hierarchical view of mental processes from sensation to perception to cognition does not provide a suitable framework for investigating the underlying hemispheric mechanisms of aesthetic preference. Less hierarchical views permit the reintroduction of two classical, seemingly contradictory approaches to the judgement of beauty: the objective approach, i.e., the notion that beauty is inherent to the object or the subjective approach, which claims that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
