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?
