Neuroscientists have discovered a focal pathway in the brain that when electrically stimulated causes immediate laughter, followed by a sense of calm and happiness, even during awake brain surgery. The effects of stimulation were observed in an epilepsy patient undergoing diagnostic monitoring for seizure diagnosis. These effects were then harnessed to help her complete a separate awake brain surgery two days later, and then confirmed in two other patients.

Wait, so patients start laughing while asleep during surgery? I think that would like be seeing the dead laugh which will scare me to death.
But this is a good discovery. Laughter is the best medicine in general. I laugh like all the time and even if this go bad I bring in laughter and am doing great again.
Also...having a laughter button seems a bit creepy. It's like someone pushes it and can control your laugter to some extent.

Maybe it sounds unscientific, but I think happy people look younger and healthier. Plus it's better to give the people a nice smile or a happy face rather than negative vibes.

You mean like hearing someone laugh in their sleep? Then yeah that would be so creepy! No, I meant the opposite: to be laughed by someone, but not naturally. I mean, having read this article I start thinking that my laugh isn't mine. The causes of laugh stopped be mine. For example, I watch some memes while laughing at it, and suddenly I'm told that it's not my reaction, but someone's will to make me laugh. And it appears that I'm a puppet in someone's hand.
