The Science of laughter

Speaker: Prof Sophie Scott CBE

Prof Sophie Scott CBE is the Director of the Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London. Her research addresses the neurobiology of human voices, including how we understand speech, non verbal information in the voice, and how we use our voices in social environments.

In this talk I will look at the science of laughter, from its evolution to its use in social interactions. I will explore the neural basis of laughter and examine the complexities of laughter use in human adults.
