WHY IS LAUGHTER
FUNNY?
Thursday 3 March 2022

Laughter is more like an animal call
than it is like speech – but it’s also one
of our most important forms of
communication.
In this talk, professor of cognitive
neuroscience Sophie Scott will
explore the natural history and
neuroscience of laughter, addressing
its role in social bonding and play, as
well as its role in emotion expressions
and communication. She will set out
what we know about the neural
basis of laughter perception and
production, and a little of what we
know about laughter and humour.
Sophie will also address some of the
reasons why so few people study
laughter scientifically.
