This has led us to formulate a brain-based theory of beauty. We do not see the how the consciousness use our brains, this connection always will be full duplex.We wanted to learn whether one direct activity in the same areas of the brain correlate with the experience of beauty derived from different sources.
In one case 21 subjects took part in a brain-scanning experiment using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Prior to the experiment, they viewed pictures of paintings and listened to musical excerpts, both of which they rated on a scale of 1–9, with 9 being the most beautiful.
According to PLoS ONE this allowed us to select three sets of stimuli–beautiful, indifferent and ugly–which subjects viewed and heard in the scanner, and rated at the end of each presentation.
The results of a conjunction analysis of brain activity showed that, of the several areas that were active with each type of stimulus, only one cortical area, located in the medial orbito-frontal cortex, mOFC, was active during the experience of musical and visual beauty, with the activity produced by the experience of beauty derived from either source overlapping almost completely within it.
According to concludes that, as far as activity in the brain is concerned, there is a faculty of beauty that is not dependent on the modality through which it is conveyed but which can be activated by at least two sources–musical and visual–and probably by other sources as well. Yes, righ detail.
However, human is not this kind of `pipe brain´. That´s what happens in brain is part of experience by physical phenomenon; another part will be related to atmosphere, and in collective atmosphere itself is associated with consciousness, our own bearing.
