About the project

Our aim is to investigate how the human brain processes natural (human) and artificial (AI-generated) emotional vocalizations as well as the factors influencing these processes. While voice stimuli produced from AI are increasingly present in our everyday environment, human interaction with such stimuli remains under-studied. We use fMRI to measure brain activity and questionnaires to measure individual factors.
