Revista Argentina de Clínica Psicológica 2020, Vol. XXIX, N°2, 957-962 957 DOI: 10.24205/03276716.2020.334 VISUAL COGNITION AND AESTHETICS OF PAINTING LAYOUT: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON EVENT RELATED POTENTIAL SIGNALS Defeng Song*, Meixin Li Abstract In recent years, visual aesthetics, especially the painting aesthetics, has become a hot topic in aesthetic research. However, asesthetic psychologists have not paid enough attention to the layout of paintings. Therefore, this paper explores the aesthetic psychological mechanism of painting layout based on event related potential (ERP) signals. With eight paintings as the stimuli, the ERP signals of subjects were measured and analyzed to reveal their psychological mechanism in the appreciation of painting layout. The results show that, during the aesthetic process, the left and right brain regions differ greatly in the ERP activities, and the ERP waveforms reflect the subjective preferences; the subjects majoring in art pay high attention to the layout of the entire painting, and have strong ERP signals for paintings with aesthetic regularity. The research results shed new light on the visual cognition and aesthetics of works of art. Key words: Event Related Potential (ERP) Signals, Aesthetics, Psychological Mechanism, Layout.
