Big thanks to our speakers Sarah Dagher and Virgile Daunay, and to everyone else who joined in today! You can check out Virgile’s great talk on human laughter here (sneak peak below): braincoustics.com We’re taking a summer break, but we’ll be back in September with more talks - see you then!

Screenshot from Virgile Daunay's Bridging Brains and Bioacoustics talk on June 25, 2025.

Image shows the following text:

Does volitional laughter encode information about social context?

Do volitional laughs differ acoustically across contexts?

Can listeners accurately decode laughter contexts?

Which acoustic features vary across different contexts, and do those features affect listeners' perceptions?
