Abstract:
Whether in performing arts, sporting, or everyday contexts, when we watch others move, we tend to enjoy bodies moving in synchrony. Our enjoyment of body movements is further enhanced by our own prior experience with performing those movements, or our \'embodied experience\'. The relationships between movement synchrony and enjoyment, as well as embodied experience and movement enjoyment, are well known. The interaction between enjoyment of movements, synchrony, and embodiment is less well understood, and may be central for developing new approaches for enriching social interaction. To examine the interplay between movement enjoyment, synchrony, and embodiment, we asked participants to copy another person\'s movements as accurately as possible, thereby gaining embodied experience of movement sequences. Participants then viewed other dyads performing the same or different sequences synchronously, and we assessed participants\' recognition of having performed these sequences, as well as their enjoyment of each movement sequence. We used functional near-infrared spectroscopy to measure cortical activation over frontotemporal sensorimotor regions while participants performed and viewed movements. We found that enjoyment was greatest when participants had mirrored the sequence and recognised it, suggesting that awareness of embodiment may be central to enjoyment of synchronous movements. Exploratory analyses of relationships between cortical activation and enjoyment and recognition implicated the sensorimotor cortices, which subserve action observation and aesthetic processing. These findings hold implications for clinical research and therapies seeking to foster successful social interaction.
摘要:
无论是表演艺术,运动,或日常环境,当我们看着别人移动,我们倾向于享受身体同步运动。我们对身体运动的乐趣通过我们自己先前进行这些运动的经验进一步增强,或者我们的“具体体验”。运动同步与享受之间的关系,以及具体的体验和运动享受,众所周知。运动的乐趣之间的相互作用,同步,和实施方式不太清楚,并且可能是开发丰富社会互动的新方法的核心。为了检查运动享受之间的相互作用,同步,和实施例,我们要求参与者尽可能准确地复制另一个人的动作,从而获得运动序列的具体经验。然后,参与者查看同步执行相同或不同序列的其他对偶,我们评估了参与者对执行这些序列的认识,以及他们对每个动作序列的享受。我们使用功能近红外光谱来测量在参与者进行和观察运动时额颞部感觉运动区域的皮层激活。我们发现,当参与者反映了序列并认识到它时,享受是最大的,这表明意识到实施可能是享受同步运动的核心。对皮层激活与享受和识别之间关系的探索性分析涉及感觉运动皮层,这有利于行动观察和审美加工。这些发现对寻求促进成功的社交互动的临床研究和疗法具有重要意义。
