I note that this is implemented in real time as a biofeedback loop. You listen to your own voice as you talk, so as you cheer up you voice sounds cheerier even without the manipulation, hence positive feedback. They kept participants in the dark about the voice manipulation so there’s no protection here against the self-knowledge of intelligence.

“DAVID (Da Amazing Voice Inflection Device) is a free, real-time voice transformation tool able to colour any voice recording with an emotion that wasn’t intended by its speaker. DAVID was especially designed with the affective psychology and neuroscience community in mind, and aims to provide researchers with new ways to produce and control affective stimuli, both for offline listening and for real-time paradigms. It does so in real-time, i.e. you can transform speech as it is spoken, e.g. over the phone. With modern audio interfaces, we reached in/out latencies as small as 15ms, which even makes it useable as vocal feedback to a speaker without disrupting speech production”.
