In addition to gamma waves, the scientists also observed so-called alpha waves. This process takes time to develop, and can continue for many seconds as a viewer savors the feeling of engaging with art." We try out different interpretations and meanings. Vessel, research associate at the MPIEA and co-author of the study, explains: "We don't just passively perceive art, but engage in a process of discovery that can last several seconds. This delay suggests that participants were not simply reacting to the visual properties of an artwork, but that these brainwaves reflected a process of meaning formation.Įdward A. Interestingly, these gamma waves did not appear right away, but only after about one second. When participants looked at artworks they found to be appealing, the electroencephalogram revealed a greater amount of very fast gamma waves over a certain part of the brain, as compared to when they viewed artworks that were not appealing. In order to investigate these processes during the reception of art, the international research team conducted a study using electroencephalography (EEG): The participants viewed different images of works of art and rated how much each artwork moved them aesthetically while their brain waves were measured via an EEG cap. This communication relies on very fast oscillations. Neurons in the human brain are constantly communicating.
