审美偏好发生在日常经验中。研究表明，审美偏好（例如观察他人的动作）通过增强的神经处理影响社交互动。这项研究调查了审美偏好对神经活动的影响，以响应步行运动。 20 名参与者在事件相关电位测量期间观察了代表三种步行类型（标准姿势、良好姿势和不良姿势）的生物运动 (BM) 及其混乱运动 (SM)。分析了反映早期感觉和后期整合过程的 N200 和 N300 振幅。结果表明，在良好和不良姿势条件下，BM 的 N200 振幅均大于 SM。无论步行类型如何，BM 的 N300 振幅均大于 SM。探索性回归分析表明，随着审美偏好得分的增加，BM 的 N300（而非 SM 或 N200）的负向偏转程度更大。我们的研究结果表明，审美偏好增强了 N300 幅度所代表的 BM 的后期整合过程，而早期感知过程（由 N200 幅度反映）可能是由熟悉度而不是他人运动中的审美偏好来调节的。
Aesthetic preference occurs in everyday experience. Studies have suggested that aesthetic preference (such as observing other's motion) affects social interaction via enhanced neural processing. This study investigated the effect of aesthetic preference on neural activities, in response to walking motion. Twenty participants observed biological motion (BM) representing three walking types (model-posture, good-posture, and bad-posture) and their scrambled motion (SM) during the event-related potentials measurement. The N200 and N300 amplitudes, reflecting the early sensory and the later integrational processes, were analyzed. The results revealed that the N200 amplitude of BM was greater than that of SM in the good- and bad-posture conditions. The N300 amplitude was larger in BM than SM regardless of the walking type. Exploratory regression analyses indicated that the N300 for BM, but not for SM or N200, was more negatively deflected with the increase of aesthetic preference scores. Our findings suggest that aesthetic preference enhances the later integrational process of BM represented in the N300 amplitude, whereas the early perceptual process (reflected by the N200 amplitude) is potentially modulated by familiarity rather than aesthetic preference in other's motion.
