Production of Nonverbal Acoustic Signals and Resulting Physiological Responses

"Participants will be asked to produce vocal sounds of different nature according to the non-verbal parameters of interest for the given study.~For example, they can read a script containing vowels ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'), short sentences ('hello, how are you'), longer passages of standardised reading texts, and can also be asked to speak freely about any topic ('freedom of speech'). They can be asked to play a role or to imitate a particular emotional state. For example, imagine that you have just been told that you have won a million euros in the lottery. Produce a vocalisation to express your excitement or talk to your dog your dog by imagining that he has done a negative action and then do the same thing by imagining that this time imagining that the action was positive."
