The effect of elements of humor formation and repetition on humor response

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of elements of humor formation and repetition on humor response by using functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI). And examining neural correlation with interaction effect. 20 right-handed participants were scanned with 3T MRI machine while they were evaluating 21 sequentially presented cartoon. Then, each cartoon repeated two time. Results from the fMRI data revealed that the activity in Nucleus accumbens decreasing by repetition. And found that the activity of brain areas such as Amygdala, Anterior cingulate cortex, right Temporoparietal junction was significantly different by humor's elements. Finally, activation of Inferior occipital gyrus, Nucleus accumbens and insula related with the interaction effect of humor's elements and repetition. Present study is frist that conducts psychological response by the effect of elements of humor formation and different effect of repetition using fMRI.
