aughter is the best medicine. In an instant it can improve mood, increase energy, decrease pain and reduce stress. Yet for such a powerful healing tool, scientists know very little about it. Neuroscientist Sophie Scott from the University College London’s Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience has spent a good deal of her career studying laughter and has come to the conclusion that much of what we think we know about laughter is wrong. In a recent TED talk, “Why We Laugh,” Scott often gets the giggles when she explains the science of laughter and fills us in on what’s really happening with each chuckle and guffaw. Here are some fun facts from the video and from her many interviews that you probably never knew about laughter.involuntary laughter and posed, or social laughter. As its name implies, involuntary laughter is not something you choose to do but is rather a helpless response to a situation. Involuntary laughter is longer and higher-pitched than voluntary laughter and it comes from the belly and not the nose. Posed or social laughter is something that we choose to do as a way to communicate with someone that we like them or maybe even love them. It’s more controlled, but it’s still laughter. And both are important tools that humans use to communicate. -
