Aesthetic perception Innate universal neurocognitive processes laid down by evolution: 1. basic sensory and emotional reactions: preference for symmetry, certain color contrasts, harmonious sounds, "cute" facial features - everything related to biologically significant stimuli (health, safety, offspring) 2. Work of the reward system: dopamine circuits and associated areas (orbitofrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, insular cortex) automatically activate when experiencing pleasure from beauty. This response is very ancient and does not depend on a specific culture - the brain everywhere rewards a positive aesthetic experience, similar to how it rewards food or sex 3. Perceptual processing - the human brain is innately tuned to search for patterns and meaning in the surrounding world. This leads to aesthetic satisfaction when it discovers those patterns (for example, in art we value composition, order, meaning) 4. Possibly, some emotional reactions to art are innate - for example, chills from beautiful music or awe before majestic natural landscapes. Such reactions are similar across different people and may even have measurable physiological markers, which points to their biological basis - The Neuroscience of Beauty - Neuroesthetics is not just about art Developed the photos.
