Eldorado Posted April 14, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2021 By studying screams recorded in the small, padded room, the team identified six acoustically distinct scream categories: pain, anger, fear, joy, passion, and sadness. The study was published in PLOS Biology. Unexpectedly, the researchers also found that volunteers more readily recognized—and their brains more efficiently processed—screams that were not considered alerts, including joy, passion, and sadness, compared to the screams of pain, anger, and fear. For all animal species, screams are considered a vital way to rapidly communicate danger to others nearby; why the joyful screams of this latest study seemed to invoke the strongest response remains unknown.
