Are you currently doing any work that relates to the neuroscience around the brain, nervous system, and body in relation to people providing more emphasis on nonverbal communication versus verbal communication, as discussed in the episode Dr. Eddie Chang: The Science of Learning & Speaking Languages | Huberman Lab Podcast #95 and the clip Avatar Communication Insights?
There is much research indicating that people put more emphasis on nonverbal communication when attaching meaning to a message. In several of your podcasts, especially those related to decision-making based on sensory perception, you mention that the eyes are the only organs directly connected to the brain. I believe this may offer some evidence as to why people tend to assign so much weight to nonverbal communication.
