To investigate the human brain activities for aesthetic processing, beautiful woman face picture and ugly buffoon
face picture were applied. Twelve subjects were assigned the aesthetic processing task while the electroencephalogram
(EEG) was recorded. Event-related brain potential (ERP) was required from the 32 scalp electrodes and the ugly buffoon
picture produced larger amplitudes for the N1, P2, N2, and late slow wave components. Average ERP from the ugly
buffoon picture were larger than that from the beautiful woman picture. The ERP signals shows that the ugly buffoon
elite higher emotion waves than the beautiful woman face, because some expression is on the face of the buffoon. Then,
chaos time series analysis was carried out to calculate the largest Lyapunov exponent using small data set method and the
correlation dimension using G-P algorithm. The results show that the largest Lyapunov exponents of the ERP signals are
greater than zero, which indicate that the ERP signals may be chaotic. The correlations dimensions coming from the
beautiful woman picture are larger than that from the ugly buffoon picture. The comparison of the correlations
dimensions shows that the beautiful face can excite the brain nerve cells. The research in the paper is a persuasive proof
to the opinion that cerebrum's work is chaotic under some picture stimuli.
