ABSTRACT Background. This study investigated differences between brain regions during the evaluation of self-attitude toward practical joking and the evaluation of practical jokes utilizing standardized low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA). Method. Four male and 8 female nonclinical university students (M age = 22.6 years) completed a Likert scale evaluating their perception of pranking behavior (LK) and rated pranks as good or bad (HE) while undergoing electroencephalographic (EEG) recording. The subjective scale and evaluation responses were recorded within the EEG record, extracted, and compared for significance. Results. The sLORETA comparisons show significant differences between the judgments about practical jokes (LK) and the evaluation of practical jokes in written form (HE). The evaluation of practical joking appears to increase activation in the anterior and posterior cingulate gyrus. Both conditions show significant difference as compared to eyes-opened baseline.
