| Research Abstract |
In this study, psychophysiological states in which people feel something is interesting and the factors related to the elicitation of interest are examined on the assumption that interest is an emotion. Three experiments were conducted using three types of objects: computer games, movie trailers, and random polygons. Results showed that brain electrical responses to task-irrelevant information (probe stimuli) were reduced when people felt interested in something and that novel or complex but understandable objects were rated to be most interesting.
