January 6th at 7:30 pm，Director of the Neuroaesthetics Research Center at the University of Pennsylvania，Professor of Neurology An Jierang·Professor Anjan Chatterjee was invited to visit the Literary Aesthetics Research Center of Shandong University，An academic lecture titled "Human Beauty and Morality" was delivered through Zoom conference software。This lecture is given by the Vice President of our hospital、Professor Cheng Xiangzhan, Deputy Director of the Literary Aesthetics Research Center, presided over，Some graduate students inside and outside the school、PhD students attend lectures。
Before the lecture begins，Professor Cheng Xiangzhan extended a warm welcome to Professor Chatterjee Bet365 gamesand briefly introduced his research fields and main research results。
The beginning of the lecture，An Jierang·Chatterjee explains when science is integrated with aesthetics。At the end of the 19th century，Gustav, the father of experimental aesthetics·Theodore·Gustav Theodor Fechner once wrote "Outline of Psychophysics"、"Introduction to Aesthetics"。Charles·Charles Darwin also discussed aesthetic issues in human society。But these scholars turned their attention to aesthetics in the later stages of their research，Over a hundred years，Aesthetics has never been the focus of scientific research。Since entering the 21st century，Aesthetic issues only appear widely in psychology、In scientific fields such as neuroscience，And this trend is strengthening。
Later，Professor Chatterjee introduced a theoretical framework centered on aesthetic experience，To discuss the three factors that affect aesthetic experience，The order is "Knowledge-Meaning"、"Sensory-motor" bet365 games best slotsand "Emotion-Valuation":
It can be seen from this theoretical diagram，Sensory systems limit what kind of aesthetic experiences we can have，And how to obtain aesthetic experience。Professor Chatterjee mentioned，His research mainly explores our view of "beauty" from the perspective of the visual system。From the statistical data，People's faces、The architectural preferences are basically the same，But preferences for art are the least consistent。Professor Chatterjee showed you the imaging of people’s brains during aesthetic activities，Red area versus building、The landscape is more sensitive，Yellow area reflects facial observation，And the parameter changes of neural activity are proportional to the attractiveness of the face。
Next，Professor Chatterjee proposed that humans have automatic reactions to faces，This automatic response has some clear manifestations in the way we behave。Beautiful face、Attractive people will gain certain advantages in life；Abnormal face、People with scars are bet365 slotsoften labeled as having low abilities、Not smart、Negative label of unconfidence。Continue，Professor Chatterjee showed a set of experimental pictures he and his team conducted on the ground in Tanzania, Africa，The experimental subjects are nomadic settlements with relatively primitive lifestyles，And pointed out that this survey mainly studies whether people’s abnormal reactions to faces have an innate physiological basis。
Finally，Professor Chatterjee presented a book edited by him、A new book just published, Brain, Beauty & Art（《Brain、Beauty and Art》)，This is a collection of papers written by scholars who are currently actively engaged in aesthetic work。
In the free communication session，The audience actively asked questions，Students Wang Chenyu and Yang Chenxue, graduate students of the Experimental Aesthetics Research Team of the Literary Aesthetics Research Center，Putted his own questions in English，Professor Chatterjee patiently answered this。
Professor Cheng Xiangzhan expressed his gratitude to Professor Chatterjee bet365 online sports betting livefor his wonderful speech，He briefly introduced to Professor Chatterjee the work of the Experimental Aesthetics Research Center of the Literary Aesthetics Research Center of Shandong University，It is important to propose a cross-cultural perspective and cross-cultural research，The combination of neuroaesthetics and cultural aesthetics will be an important theoretical growth point，This expresses the desire for further exchanges and cooperation with Professor Chatterjee。To this point，Lecture ended successfully。
