How Tone of Voice Shapes Emotional State of Listeners

About this video

Huberman explains that low-frequency voices, like a late-night radio voice, are followed by listeners’ neurons firing at similarly low frequencies, so the brain entrains to the speaker’s tone. He argues that higher frequencies cannot be followed in the same way, which he says makes low-frequency sound especially able to shift the emotional tone of people who hear it.

Key takeaways

• Huberman explains that listeners’ neurons entrain to the frequency of a speaker’s voice.
