First ever interactive AUDIO map lets you HEAR emotions

Scientists have found that involuntary sounds we make when we express shock, elation and fear reveal a lot more about what we feel than previously thought. An interactive audio map shows more than 2000 sounds for a range of 24 different emotions like fear, surprise (positive and negative), embarrassment, elation and ecstasy. The results are demonstrated in vivid sound and colour on the map allows you to move the cursor along it and hear the varying sounds. Spontaneous sounds like'woohoo' to convey excitement and'argh' to show anger say a lot more about what we're feeling than previously understood, according to new research by Berkeley University. Scientists conducted a statistical analysis of responses to more than 2,000 nonverbal exclamations known as'vocal bursts' to discover that there are thousands of different sounds for varying types of emotion.
