 ==[Looks] Beauty is objective and it leads to predictable activation of brain centers==
-The researchers attempted to test whether there is there an objective, biological basis for the experience of beauty vs. if it is subjective. They showed average people images of masterpieces of Classical and Renaissance sculpture, and modified versions of these arts with less ideal aesthetics.
+It has long been debated whether or not there is there an objective, biological basis for the experience of beauty or if it is subjective and individually or culturally driven. To test this, researchers showed average people with no art education images of masterpieces of Classical and Renaissance sculpture, and modified versions of these arts with less mathematically ideal proportions.
 They then used fMRI to measure activation of various parts of the subjects' brains, when they were exposed to either the beautiful ideal art or the less beautiful modified art. There were clearly differential patterns of brain activation that demonstrated the groups of people could generally figure out which version was "beautiful" or not, and when beauty was encountered, it activated completely different parts of the brain.
