However, additional activations were found in the moral judgment condition, that is, in the posterior cingulate cortex, the precuneus, and the temporoparietal junction.
The singular points of the extreme poses are solved by using homotopy method as well as the judgment condition of singular points, and thereby the maximum link lengths are achieved.
Any differential effect of TMS on the visuospatial judgment condition (ANGLE) as compared to the control condition (COLOR) should become apparent when subtracting these scores.
To make sure that volunteers were not biased in their aesthetic judgment by explicit proportion evaluation, the aesthetic judgment condition always preceded the proportion judgment runs.
Figure 4d shows signal change in this region, revealing a particularly strong effect of "ugly" versus "beautiful" images during the explicit aesthetic judgment condition.
The viewers' evaluation of the stimuli, as expressed in the aesthetic judgment condition, showed that the canonical images were mostly evaluated positively (76%, sd = 0.18), whereas the modified images were generally scored with a negative rating (63%, sd = 0.25).
Whereas the aesthetic judgment condition allowed us to determine brain activations in response to the volunteer's subjective evaluation of the stimuli, the PJ condition was used to observe brain response during a task of overt proportion evaluation.
This effect was observed for the aesthetic judgment condition, as demonstrated by the stimulus×condition interaction analysis (maxima: x, y, z = 32, 2, −28; P-corrected<0.03; Figure 4 a,b).
Studies on both moral judgments and vital loss decisions found a longer reaction time and a greater activation of emotion-related areas (e.g., MPFC, PCC, and amygdala) in more difficult conditions (i.e., VV condition and personal moral judgment condition).
We previously showed that the MFG cluster was statistically significantly connected to PPC on the RFX group level [14], and here show that effective connectivity analysis for fMRI data during the visuospatial judgment condition could reveal the task-specific effectively connected region within MFG on an individual subject level.
