Hedonic evaluation of sensory objects varies from person to person. While this variability has been linked to differences in experience, little is known about why stimuli lead to different evaluations in different people. We used linear mixed-effects models to determine the extent to which the openness, contour, and ceiling height of interior spaces influenced the beauty and pleasantness ratings of 18 participants. Then, by analyzing structural brain images acquired for the same group of participants, we asked if any regional gray matter volume (rGMV) covaried with these differences in the extent to which the three features influence beauty and pleasantness ratings. Voxel-based morphometry analysis revealed that the influence of openness on pleasantness ratings correlated with rGMV in the anterior prefrontal cortex (Brodmann area (BA)-10), and the influence of openness on beauty ratings correlated with rGMV in the temporal pole (BA38) and cluster, including the posterior cingulate cortex (BA31) and paracentral lobule (BA5/6). There were no significant correlations involving contour or ceiling height. Our results suggest that regional variance in gray matter volume may play a role in the computation of hedonic valuation and account for differences in the way people weigh certain attributes of interior architectural spaces.

区域灰质体积的差异预测了开放性对室内建筑空间美感和愉悦性判断的影响程度

感官对象的享乐评价因人而异。虽然这种可变性与经验差异有关，但对于为什么刺激会导致不同人的不同评估知之甚少。我们使用线性混合效应模型来确定室内空间的开放性、轮廓和天花板高度对 18 名参与者的美感和愉悦度评分的影响程度。然后，通过分析为同一组参与者获取的结构性大脑图像，我们询问是否有任何区域灰质体积 (rGMV) 与这些差异在这三个特征影响美丽和愉悦评级的程度方面存在共变。基于体素的形态测量分析表明，开放性对愉悦评分的影响与前额叶皮层（布罗德曼区（BA）-10）中的 rGMV 相关，开放性对美容评级的影响与颞极 (BA38) 和集群中的 rGMV 相关，包括后扣带皮层 (BA31) 和旁中央小叶 (BA5/6)。轮廓或天花板高度没有显着相关性。我们的研究结果表明，灰质体积的区域差异可能在享乐估值的计算中发挥作用，并解释了人们权衡室内建筑空间某些属性的方式的差异。
