Scientists have confirmed that Zoom But your brain doesn’t work like that (normal situation) while talking to someone.
New research has revealed that neural signaling is significantly lower during a video call than when talking to someone face-to-face.
When researchers looked at the brain of a person talking in real life, they discovered the presence of a detailed and complex system of neural activity. However, it was less dramatic on Zoom.
It turns out that there’s still something fundamentally lacking about talking to someone online. Researchers suggest that in the same way, people’s faces do not illuminate people’s minds.
It’s a surprise: Current models suggest the brain should process people’s faces the same way whether they’re zoomed in or in real life, because they have similar features. But the new study shows that there is something fundamentally different between the two contexts.
“In this study, we found that the social system of the human brain is more active during real face-to-face meetings than during Zoom,” says Joy Hirsch, lead author of the study and a professor at Yale University. Zoom seems like a weak social communication system compared to in-person situations.’

To figure this out, the researchers studied people’s brains in real time as well as other signals, such as where people’s eyes were moving. Along with increased neural activity, the researchers also found, for example, that people’s eyes stayed longer on real faces.
The minds of these two people also seemed to be more compatible. This suggests that more social cues are being shared between the two people, he said.
‘Overall, the dynamic and natural social interactions that occur automatically during in-person conversations appear to be reduced or non-existent during Zoom meetings,’ says Professor Hirsch. It’s a really strong influence.’
According to the researchers, this study shows that face-to-face meetings are very important, even technology Companies and others look for new ways to communicate with people remotely.
“At least with current technology, the online presence of faces does not have the same ‘privileged access’ to the social neural circuitry in the brain that characterizes the original,” Professor Hirsch said.
The findings are described in a new paper, ‘Spareable Processes for Live ‘In Person’ and Live ‘Zoom-Like’ Faces”, published in Imaging Neuroscience.
