Neuroscientist Sophie educates us in social behaviour, verbal and non-verbal communication, and LOLs. Far from being "silly science", Sophie believes we can learn a lot from laughter. That's why she's been studying it for years and will cover the subject in her Christmas Lectures for the Royal Institution. Sophie's also a music fan, who's been popping beat boxers into MRI scanners to learn more about how they can create so many sounds at once. And she confirms what we already suspected; that music can light up the reward centre in your brain.
