Oral communication in humans encompasses both verbal content and prosody—non-verbal vocal cues, which convey emotional states. Emotional prosody arises from the mechanisms of vocal production, where vibrations generated by the lungs and vocal folds provide interoceptive and proprioceptive feedback essential for vocal control and emotional processing. Despite their significance, the role of these bodily vibrations in prosody remains understudied. This thesis investigates the contributions of interoception and embodied simulation to the perception and production of emotional vocalizations, emphasizing vibrations as interoceptive feedback. Findings reveal overlapping neural networks involved in both perception and production of emotional prosody, supporting the embodied simulation theories and highlighting their role in social cognition. The results suggest that subtle mimicry of vocal muscle activations would provide afferent feedback, facilitating accurate emotional prosody processing. This research advances understanding of the embodied and vibratory mechanisms integral to emotional prosody and vocal communication in social contexts.
