Neuroaesthetics is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field of research that aims to
understand the neural substrates of aesthetic experience: While understanding aesthetic …

Aesthetic responses to visual art comprise multiple types of experiences, from sensation and
perception to emotion and self-reflection. Moreover, aesthetic experience is highly …

Neuroimage experiments have been essential for identifying active brain networks. During
cognitive tasks as in, eg, aesthetic appreciation, such networks include regions that belong …

In a task of rating images of artworks in an fMRI scanner, regions in the medial prefrontal
cortex that are known to be part of the default mode network (DMN) were positively activated …

The field of neuroaesthetics attempts to identify the brain processes underlying aesthetic
experience, including but not limited to beauty. Previous neuroaesthetic studies have …

Neuroaesthetics is a relatively young field within cognitive neuroscience, concerned with the
neural underpinnings of aesthetic experience of beauty, particularly in visual art …

Visual aesthetic evaluations, which impact decision-making and well-being, recruit the
ventral visual pathway, subcortical reward circuitry, and parts of the medial prefrontal cortex …

The neural basis for visual aesthetics is largely unknown. Yet, murmurings within cognitive
neuroscience suggest this will soon change. In this review, I suggest several ways in which …

How do external stimuli and our internal state coalesce to create the distinctive aesthetic
pleasures that give vibrance to human experience? Neuroaesthetics has so far focused on …

Here we aimed at finding the neural correlates of the general aspect of visual aesthetic
experience (VAE) and those more strictly correlated with the content of the artworks. We …
