Veronika Douchová vedoucí (supervisor): prof. RNDr. Jaroslav Nešetřil, DrSc., 2022 Abstract In the thesis, we investigate and formulate a framework for analyzing certain aspects of aesthetics from a structural and mathematical perspective. We build on the results of neuroaesthetics-a (relatively new) field in neurol- ogy introduced by S. Zeki in 1990's-which links the process of seeing, and evaluating information with an aesthetic component, with the structure of the human brain. Several principles influencing aesthetic judgements were identified by neuroaesthetics and connected with the structure of the human brain, such as the notions of modularity, symmetry, harmony, or balance. We argue that these results provide an objective interpretative framework for an- alyzing certain aspects of visual information with an aesthetic component by means of mathematical methods. We apply these results to Birkhoff's aes- thetic measure, providing objective foundations for his theoretical methods, based on algebraic invariants for aesthetics. We follow up with a discussion of the theory of J. Nešetřil-which...
