Ginny Smith interviews Sophie Scott
Laughter is a universal human behaviour about which we have very little insights - we like to laugh, but we don't always know why we are laughing. In Sophie Scott's talk she will explore how the emerging science of laughter is shedding new light on this common behaviour.Sophie Scott has worked in psychology and cognitive neuroscience for over 20 years and she is funded by the Wellcome Trust. Sophie Scott is interested in the human voice, how we use it to communicate and what we can do when this communication goes wrong.
