| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study was aimed to investigate how the style of paintings is shaped by the structure of image features contained in paintings, and how the human visual system processes these image features to determine subjective judgments regarding the beauty and ugliness of various images including paintings. Since the other research groups has recently published a similar line of studies about the former style analysis, we focused on examining the latter preference processing via a series of psychophysical and electrophysiological (EEG) experiments, which revealed robust relationships between human preferential judgments and a small set of low-level statistics of texture images. The results suggest the existence of rapid implicit neural processing that utilize image features to directly summon preferential responses.
