The study of the electroencephalogram signals recorded from subjects during an experience is a way to understand the brain processes that underlie their physical and emotional involvement. Such signals have the form of time series, and their analysis could benefit from applying techniques that are specific to this kind of data. Neuroaesthetics, as defined by Zeki in 1999, is the scientific approach to the study of aesthetic perceptions of art, music, or any other experience that can give rise to aesthetic judgments, such as liking or disliking a painting. Starting from a proprietary dataset of 248 trials from 16 subjects exposed to art paintings, using a real ecological context, this paper analyses the application of a novel symbolic machine learning technique, specifically designed to extract information from unstructured data and to express it in form of logical rules. Our purpose is to extract qualitative and quantitative logical rules, to relate the voltage at specific frequencies and in specific electrodes, and that, within the limits of the experiment, may help to understand the brain process that drives liking or disliking experiences in human subjects.
研究受试者在体验过程中记录的脑电图信号,是一种理解大脑过程的方法,这些过程是他们身体和情感参与的基础。这些信号的形式是时间序列,它们的分析可以受益于应用专门针对这种数据的技术。神经美学是由泽基在 1999 年定义的,是对艺术、音乐或任何其他能够引发审美判断的体验的审美感知的科学研究,例如喜欢或不喜欢一幅画。本文从一个专有的 248 次试验数据集开始,该数据集来自 16 个暴露于艺术绘画的受试者,使用真实的生态环境,分析了一种新的符号机器学习技术的应用,该技术专门用于从非结构化数据中提取信息,并以逻辑规则的形式表达。我们的目的是提取定性和定量的逻辑规则,将特定频率和特定电极的电压联系起来,并且在实验的限制内,这可能有助于理解驱动人类受试者喜欢或不喜欢体验的大脑过程。
