The results of these considerations are applied to aesthetic experience, in particular to an analysis of urban aesthetics of a section of the town of Dartmouth, Devonshire, England. The first two concern the perceptual modes of the left and right hemispheres of the neocortex the third the synthesis of neocortical and limbic system activity and the fourth the reaction of the limbic system to stimuli according to built-in criteria. Comments on the implications of these models for vision are made in terms of four proposed attitudes to the way the brain may process information. Since World War II three hypothetical models of the way the human brain may work have been proposed on the basis of research by physiologists and psychologists, which the author calls (1) phylogenetic-evolutionary, (2) attitudinal and (3) functional-hierarchical.
