Abstract The purpose of my project is to study dopamine levels in our bodies. I wanted to see if dopamine levels were different when you get tickled versus when you laugh at jokes or anything oral. I could use trackers, or be hypothetical. Choosing the hypothetical route is more practical so I started researching my topic and the difference between the two dopamine-releasing actions.
