    "title": "The Relationship between Theory of Mind Abilities and Humor Comprehension",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "According to Howe (2002), humor originates from perceiving the thoughts of the subject of the humor, implying the\ninvolvement of perspective-taking or related mental processes. However, how does the ability to infer the mental states of others,\nor theory of mind (ToM) operate with the comprehension of humor is yet certain. The current research continued to examine\nthis idea using fMRI, hoping to investigate the underlying neural substrates of those with high and low ToM related ability\nwhen processing humor. In fMRI, participants read 64 stories, including ToM-funny, ToM-unfunny, nonsensical-funny, and\nnonsensical-unfunny conditions. Empathy Quotient is used to assess participants’ ToM ability. The results revealed a positive\ncorrelation between EQ scores and left ACC under the comparison between ToM conditions and nonsensical conditions. The\npresent study advanced the influences of ToM processing and how it involves cognitive processing, such as story reading or\njoke comprehension.",
