Estratto

“La bellezza è nell’occhio dell’osservatore”. E secondo le neuroscienze, questo vale non solo per la bellezza. La realtà è soggettiva, perché il cervello costruisce la nostra esperienza degli eventi, delle persone e degli oggetti, e le nostre risposte emozionali e comportamentali a tutto ciò [1–6]. Soggettivamente, quando accadono gli eventi noi li percepiamo e in seguito reagiamo a essi. Dal punto di vista del cervello, anche prima che si verifichi un evento il cervello prevede, in modo non conscio, ciò che ha più probabilità di accadere, e comincia a costruire le percezioni, i comportamenti, le emozioni e le risposte fisiologiche che meglio si adattano all’evento previsto. Le previsioni si sviluppano come scorciatoie per potenziare il funzionamento adattativo [4, 7]. I meccanismi predittivi ci preparano in anticipo, in modo da poter rispondere con più facilità, efficacia e rapidità quando si verifica un evento. Tutto ciò si spiega all’interno di una prospettiva evolutiva. Nella competizione per assicurarsi le risorse in periodi di carestia, gli animali “preparati” e capaci di reazioni più rapide avevano più probabilità di sopravvivere e di trasmettere i loro geni ai discendenti.
