Comedian Offers New Invention for Laughter Research
Laughter researcher Steve Roye to offer limited royalty free license to qualified medical organizations and researchers involved in the study of laughter and its subsequent biological and physiological effects.
(PRWEB) October 31, 2003 -- A new patent pending invention initially designed
to determine the "funny factor" in live comedy performances, movies and
television programming may be also be the key to more accurately quantifying the
physiological effects of laughter.
Author, comedian and independent
laughter researcher Steve Roye believes his new invention can help to more
firmly establish laughter as a quantifiable therapy to battle
disease.
The patent pending methodology and device invented by Roye
assists in the accurate measurement of accumulated laughter, not by its
intensity directly, but by its actual duration as experienced by an audience
during a comedy event.
"Studies have shown that laughter is a very
powerful physiological event with significant positive biological ramifications.
From my own research, I have found that laughter research and the establishment
of its subsequent biological effects has been determined primarily by monitoring
the length of exposure to a comedy source as opposed to measurement of the
actual quantity of laughter generated by the comedy source” explains Roye. "The
methodology and invention I have developed assists in the accurate measurement
of the actual duration of laughter generated by a performance or comedy source,
which can then be more accurately correlated with the numerous advantageous
biological effects that laughter creates."
The invention and methodology,
called Comedy Evaluator Pro, will allow laughter researchers to determine a
quantifiable index based simply upon the measured accumulated amount of laughter
as it relates to the total exposure time to a comedy show, presentation or
videotape.
According to Roye, it may be possible to actually establish a
"laugher dosage" which can be used to treat illness more effectively by using
laughter as an effective adjunctive therapy. This new patent methodology not
only includes Roye’s 20 years of experience as a medical professional, but also
his knowledge as a stand-up comedian.
Roye is offering a limited,
royalty free license to select medical organizations devoted to the pursuit of
laughter as a viable medical therapy.
Steve Roye is a professional
comedian, author of the Killer Stand-up Comedy System and an independent
laughter researcher. He holds a Bachelors degree from George Washington
University in Allied Health Sciences and a Masters degree in Health Services
Management from Webster University.
