Topics
Mike 和 Ian：我们收到了一些听众邮件，感觉像是被嘲讽了，其中一封邮件明确表示嘲讽，另一封邮件则模棱两可。我们不确定该如何回应，因此我们联系了喜剧演员 Patton Oswalt 寻求建议。 Patton Oswalt：他认为听众邮件可能是措辞不好，我们过于敏感了。也可能是听众想和我们成为朋友，用嘲讽的方式来开玩笑。他建议我们保持积极的心态，即使被嘲讽，也要继续努力。 Mary：我从小就好奇，模仿他人声音的人是如何做到这一点的，因为每个人听到自己声音的方式都不同。 James Austin Johnson：模仿者通常有奇怪的说话声音，这可能是因为需要灵活运用喉咙中的各种肌肉和声带。现在手机上的录音功能让模仿变得更容易了。有些模仿是自然而然出现的，而有些则需要花费很长时间练习。随着模仿对象的变化，我的模仿方式也会随之改变。我现在的模仿方式更加注重他说话的疲惫感和缓慢节奏。我有很多无用的模仿练习。每个人听到自己声音的方式都不同，录音中的声音和自己听到的声音不一样。 Clementine：我想知道为什么打哈欠会传染。我的代课老师打哈欠，然后全班同学都跟着打哈欠，甚至传染到了其他教室。 Mariska Kret：打哈欠是进化过程中产生的行为，可以帮助人们冷静大脑，变得更专注。在压力大的情况下，动物也经常打哈欠，这种行为具有传染性。一些面部表情，例如厌恶和恐惧，具有直接的自身益处，并且具有传染性。目前关于跨物种打哈欠传染性的研究很少。有些人比其他人更容易被传染打哈欠，例如具有高精神病态特征的人。我们研究了打哈欠对信任的影响，以及生理同步对约会成功率的影响。
