Eye contact plays a big role in how we connect with others, helping us pick up on emotions and recognize faces. [1]
Recent studies found that looking into someone's eyes activates specific brain areas involved in vision and social understanding. They discovered that eye contact boosts connections between these regions, helping us pick up on each other's intentions during conversation.
This is important because it shows how crucial eye contact is in communication, especially for people who might struggle with social interactions, like those with autism or schizophrenia.
So today, let’s really set a clear intention for communicating not just with words, or hugs, but also with our eyes.
