Aesthetic package design: A behavioral, neural, and psychological investigation (2010, unknown): “…research has improved our understanding of the neural correlates of beautiful faces (e.g., Aharon et al., 2001), beautiful geometric shapes (e.g., Jacobsen et al., 2006), the neural basis of aesthetic preference for paintings and pictures (e.g., Cela-Conde et al., 2004), and the brain correlates…”
The neuroaesthetics of music. (2013, methodology): “Activation in orbitofrontal cortex has been found in tasks involving judging the beauty of paintings (Kawabata & Zeki, 2004), black-white abstract shapes (Jacobsen et al., 2006), and faces (Aharon et al., 2001).”
Modulation of aesthetic value by semantic context: An fMRI study (2009, unknown): “The temporal poles have also been reported to be active in tasks that require explicit evaluation judgments such as emotional intensity (Cunningham et al., 2004), and aesthetic judgments (Jacobsen et al., 2006).”
From everyday emotions to aesthetic emotions: towards a unified theory of musical emotions. (2013, background): “Empirical research so far has focused primarily on the beauty criterion, for instance investigating the perceptual (Reber et al., 2004) and neural (Jacobsen et al., 2005) correlates of beauty.”
