Activity in prefrontal regions is modulated by aesthetic qualities and task demands during spatial experience.
fMRI results showed increased activation in the hippocampus when judging the memorability of more complex spaces.
Participants evaluated aesthetics and spatial layouts after viewing first-person movies, highlighting brain region contributions.
Findings on curvature and qualities linked to aesthetic judgement advance the understanding of neuroarchitecture.
