The Neuromantics
Season 1
Episode 10
The Neuromantics go out on a good laugh. For their season-ending episode, neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott and writer Will Eaves explore the social function of laughter and discover that it’s a surprisingly more complex facet of human behaviour than you might think. There’s plenty of ground to cover: why do jokes seem funnier when other people are laughing at them? What’s behind the often shocking humour among colleagues in stressful jobs? And who else here remembers Ripping Yarns?
