A well-studied region in the temporal lobe of the brain, the amygdala’s primary function is to process stimuli that induce fear, anxiety, and aggressiveness and to deal with the resulting emotional reactions. In other words, angular shapes tend to trigger fear and therefore aversion and dislike.
Mar 6, 2024 · Given that the combination of straight lines and curves can give rise to any shape, we hypothesized that the brain encodes the concave and convex curvatures of an environment (for example,...
