Laughter is like touch \u2013 it is a way of communicating without words. It is often a more effective way of communicating, than with words. We have all heard the adage, \u2018Laughter is the shortest distance between two people\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Robert Provine a professor of neurobiology and psychology at the University of Maryland along with his colleagues studied the science of laughter for many years. Having studied the science of laughter, their research discovers some fascinating aspects of laughter.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You laugh more in a group than alone<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    You laugh more when you in a group, then when you are alone. So you will laugh (30 times) more at a joke in a funny theater than while watching it alone on your laptop.<\/span><\/p>\n

      You don\u2019t need a joke to laugh<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Laughing creates more laughter<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The sound of laughter gives rise to more laughter. (That\u2019s why all these sitcoms used to use recorded laughter \u2013 because the sound of laughter got more laughs). Our brain is designed in such a way that when we hear someone laughing, we laugh along. It is hard to resist laughter when the whole room is laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n
