Revisiting Effective Communication Between Patients and Physicians: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study Comparing Text-Based Electronic Versus Face-to-Face Communication

Text-based communication influences self-esteem more than face-to-face or cellphone communication

Direct Face-to-Face Communication Between Real and Virtual Humans

Interaction in graphical systems is becoming more and more multimodal. Use of the conventional mode of 2D widget-mouse or keyboard interaction is not very natural for many applications. For the comfort of disabled persons who may not be able to use the hand input devices, it is necessary to explore means for interactive controls for them. In this paper, we discuss real time interaction through ...

The relationship between electronic and face-to-face communication and its implication for alternative workplace strategies

Many individuals who have no or limited experience of using electronic communication technologies (ECTs), e.g. telephone, fax, voice, and e-mail are concerned that media like e-mail are a limited, if not poor, way of communicating, and that they cannot replace face-to-face communication. Reports on research examining how relatively sophisticated ECT users use ECTs to communicate, and how electr...

Moving face-to-face communication to Web-based systems

Neural synchronization during face-to-face communication.

Although the human brain may have evolutionarily adapted to face-to-face communication, other modes of communication, e.g., telephone and e-mail, increasingly dominate our modern daily life. This study examined the neural difference between face-to-face communication and other types of communication by simultaneously measuring two brains using a hyperscanning approach. The results showed a sign...
