| Research Abstract |
We have used the technique of functional MRI to address the functional roles of brain areas, which are specifically engaged with representation of value, emerged as beauty. The brain areas of our special interest were reward system especially in the orbit-frontal cortex and the nucleus accumbens. A series of experiment have been done to find the brain areas in the reward system concerned with absolute and relative value of beauty.
