本研究利用事件相关脑电位（event- correlation brain potentials, ERPs）研究了幽默加工的两个认知阶段（即发现不一致性和解决不一致性）与主观幽默感受之间的关系。与传统的英语笑话不同，日本的叠说笑话具有不一致性检测和不一致性解决分离的结构，这使得本研究能够独立观察这两个阶段的erp。此外，为了研究当人们主观地认为双关语有趣时，认知阶段是如何运作的，根据参与者的主观评分，将有趣和不有趣的双关语引发的erp进行了比较。这种主观感受在以往的文献中没有得到足够的重视。结果表明，N400和P600分别出现在不一致检测阶段和分辨阶段。搞笑双关语对P600振幅的影响显著高于无搞笑双关语，而搞笑双关语对N400振幅的影响不显著。这些研究结果表明，幽默加工的消解阶段与主观幽默感受有关，而与不一致性发现阶段无关。
This study examined the relationship between two cognitive stages of humor processing (i.e., detecting incongruity and resolving it) and the subjective feeling of humor, using event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Unlike traditional English jokes, Japanesenazokakepuns have a structure in which the detection of incongruity and the resolution of it are separated, which enabled this study to observe the ERPs for these two stages independently. In addition, to investigate how the cognitive stages work when people subjectively find a pun funny, the ERPs elicited by funny and unfunny puns, categorized according to participants’ subjective ratings, were compared. This subjective feeling has not received enough attention in previous literature. The results showed that N400 and P600 responses occurred during the incongruity detection stage and the resolution stage, respectively. Furthermore, funny puns enlarged the P600 amplitude compared to unfunny ones, but the N400 amplitude did not significantly differ between the funniness categories. These findings indicate that the resolution stage of humor processing is related to the subjective feeling of humor, rather than the incongruity detection stage.
