Unit 4 Overview: Symmetry Research in Neuroaesthetics
摘要
Why are we fascinated by flowers? Why are we fascinated by synchronous dance? What do they have in common? The overview on Symmetry Research in Neuroaesthetics discusses the importance of studying aesthetic primitives in holistic contexts. Using the current results on symmetry preference from various fields, one of the better-understood aspects of aesthetic preference, this overview highlights what we can hope to achieve by thoroughly applying neuroaesthetic research methods and how results in this field can contribute to the understanding human behaviour at the phylogenetic scale.
