From Eye Contact to Emojis: How Our Communication Is Changing

Wednesday 14 October 2026, 8 pm - 9:30 pm
Dutch lecture and conversation | Radboud Reflects and the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour

Venue: Lecture Hall Complex, Radboud University
The language of discussion is Dutch.

“Go away!” If you want to know whether this exclamation means “leave” or “oh, you can’t be serious,” you need more than just the words themselves. Tone of voice, body language, facial expressions and hand gestures are at least as important for accurate interpretation. What happens in your brain during face-to-face communication when you interpret the most subtle signals? Are we losing something as we communicate more and more online? Or is face-to-face contact overrated in the digital age? Join neuroscientist Linda Drijvers and communication scientist Lieke Verheijen and discover how our communication is changing.
