Today, we find our funny bone. Not literally. Instead, we're going to breakdown the science of humor. We'll cover what happens in our brains when we find something funny, how a sense of humor evolved, what makes something not funny at all, and even if we can teach robots and A.I. to be funny!
Originally broadcast in 2015.
