abstract = {We present here the most comprehensive analysis to date of
neuroaesthetic processing by reporting the results of
voxel-based meta-analyses of 93 neuroimaging studies of
positive-valence aesthetic appraisal across four sensory
modalities. The results demonstrate that the most concordant
area of activation across all four modalities is the right
anterior insula, an area typically associated with visceral
perception, especially of negative valence (disgust, pain,
etc.). We argue that aesthetic processing is, at its core,
the appraisal of the valence of perceived objects. This
appraisal is in no way limited to artworks but is instead
applicable to all types of perceived objects. Therefore, one
way to naturalize aesthetics is to argue that such a system
evolved first for the appraisal of objects of survival
advantage, such as food sources, and was later co-opted in
humans for the experience of artworks for the satisfaction
of social needs.},
