Most previous neuroaesthetics research has been limited to considering the aesthetic judgment of static stimuli, with few studies examining the aesthetic judgment of dynamic stimuli. The present study explored the neural mechanisms underlying aesthetic judgment of dynamic landscapes, and compared the neural mechanisms between the aesthetic judgments of dynamic landscapes and static ones. Participants were scanned while they performed aesthetic judgments on dynamic landscapes and matched static ones. The results revealed regions of occipital lobe, frontal lobe, supplementary motor area, cingulate cortex and insula were commonly activated both in the aesthetic judgments of dynamic and static landscapes. Furthermore, compared to static landscapes, stronger activations of middle temporal gyrus (MT/V5), and hippocampus were found in the aesthetic judgments of dynamic landscapes. This study provided neural evidence that visual processing related regions, emotion-related regions were more active when viewing dynamic landscapes than static ones, which also indicated that dynamic stimuli were more beautiful than static ones.
大多数先前的神经美学研究都局限于考虑对静态刺激的审美判断,很少有研究考察对动态刺激的审美判断。本研究探讨了动态景观审美判断的神经机制,并比较了动态和静态景观审美判断的神经机制。参与者在对动态景观和匹配的静态景观进行审美判断时接受了扫描。结果显示,在对动态和静态景观的审美判断中,枕叶、额叶、辅助运动区、扣带回和脑岛等区域都被共同激活。此外,与静态景观相比,在对动态景观的审美判断中,中颞叶(MT/V5)和海马区的激活更强。这项研究提供了神经学证据,表明在观看动态景观时,与视觉处理相关的区域、与情绪相关的区域比观看静态景观时更为活跃,这也表明动态刺激比静态刺激更美观。
