In-person interactions boost 'feelgood' hormones, neuroscientist finds
UKPulse Health Desk
US neuroscientist Ben Rein's research indicates that in-person interactions lead to a significant increase in serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine compared to online interactions.
- US neuroscientist Ben Rein has identified a fundamental difference in cognitive response based on interaction type.
- In-person meetings and conversations result in a dramatic increase in 'feelgood' hormones: serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine.
- This increase in 'feelgood' hormones is not observed with online interactions.
Research by US neuroscientist Ben Rein has revealed a fundamental difference in human cognitive response depending on the type of interaction. In-person meetings and conversations demonstrate a dramatic increase in serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine, which are described as "feelgood" hormones.
This effect is notably different from online interactions, which do not show the same increase in these hormones.
