我们使用功能性核磁共振成像技术来解决这样一个问题，即当受试者看到他们认为美丽的画作时，无论画作的类别如何（无论是肖像、风景、静物还是抽象作品），是否有特定的大脑区域被参与进来。在扫描之前，每个受试者观看了大量的绘画，并将它们分为美丽、中性和丑陋。然后他们在扫描仪上观看同样的画作。结果表明，对不同类别的绘画的感知与大脑不同的和专门的视觉区域有关，在感知美丽和丑陋的刺激时，眼窝额叶皮层的参与程度是不同的，与绘画的类别无关，对美丽或丑陋的刺激的感知调动了不同的运动皮层。
We have used the technique of functional MRI to address the question of whether there are brain areas that are specifically engaged when subjects view paintings that they consider to be beautiful, regardless of the category of painting (that is whether it is a portrait, a landscape, a still life, or an abstract composition). Prior to scanning, each subject viewed a large number of paintings and classified them into beautiful, neutral, or ugly. They then viewed the same paintings in the scanner. The results show that the perception of different categories of paintings are associated with distinct and specialized visual areas of the brain, that the orbito-frontal cortex is differentially engaged during the perception of beautiful and ugly stimuli, regardless of the category of painting, and that the perception of stimuli as beautiful or ugly mobilizes the motor cortex differentially.
