From November 2025 to February 2026, Sahan Hatemo of the FHNW School of Computer Science, Dr. Katharina Kühne of the University of Potsdam, and Prof. Dr. Oliver Bendel of the FHNW School of Business are conducting a research study. As part of this project, they are launching a sub-study that includes a short computer-based task and a brief questionnaire. Participants are asked to listen to a series of laughter samples and evaluate whether each one sounds authentic or not. The task involves 50 samples in total and typically takes about ten minutes to complete. Participation is possible via PC, laptop, or smartphone. Before starting, participants should ensure that their device’s sound is turned on and that they are in a quiet, distraction-free environment. The computer-based task and the brief questionnaire can be accessed at research.sc/participant/login/dynamic/3BE7321C-B5FD-4C4B-AF29-9A435EC39944.
