Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) we investigated whether a culturally defined context modulates the neurocognitive processing of artworks. We presented subjects with paintings from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, and labeled them as being either from the MoMA or from an adult education center. Irrespective of aesthetic appreciation, we found higher neural activation in the left precuneus, superior and inferior parietal cortex for the MoMA condition compared to the control label condition. When taking the aesthetic preference for a painting into account, the MoMA condition elicited higher involvement of right precuneus, bilateral anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and temporoparietal junction (TPJ). Our findings indicate that mental frames, in particular labels of social value, modulate both cognitive and affective aspects of sensory processing.
我们使用功能磁共振成像（fMRI）来研究文化定义的背景是否会调节艺术品的神经认知加工过程。我们向受试者展示了纽约现代艺术博物馆（MoMA）的画作，并将它们标记为来自MoMA或来自一个成人教育中心。无论审美欣赏如何，我们发现与对照标签条件相比，在MoMA条件下，左侧楔前叶、顶上小叶和顶下小叶皮质有更高的神经激活。当考虑对一幅画的审美偏好时，MoMA条件会引起右侧楔前叶、双侧前扣带回皮质（ACC）和颞顶联合区（TPJ）更高的参与度。我们的研究结果表明，心理框架，特别是社会价值标签，会调节感觉加工的认知和情感方面。
