Abstract
In recent years, conversations over the screen with the face visible have become useful for meetings and lectures. If the listener does not seem to respond, the speaker’s ease of speaking may change depending on the presence or absence of entrainment. We also confirmed entrainment depending on the presence or absence of the listener’s reaction. While the speaker was speaking, we obtained fingertip plethysmographs and cerebral blood flow for each of the listeners and speakers. From the results of this experiment, synchronization of brain activation was observed at specific sites depending on the response of the listener and the type of conversation. Many entrainments were observed in the heart rate variability during face-to-face conversation and the nodding response. From the above results, it can be concluded that the occurrence of entrainment depends on the type of conversation and the response of the listener.
