Can you explain more about the neuroscience behind eye position and alertness?
What happens to your neurochemicals when you look up for alertness, as discussed in the episode The Science of Vision, Eye Health & Seeing Better | Huberman Lab Podcast #24 and the clip Eye Position and Alertness?
Are you currently doing any work that relates to the neuroscience around the brain, nervous system, and body in relation to people providing more emphasis on nonverbal communication versus verbal communication, particularly in the context of the episode 232: Daniel Goleman | A Logical Look at Emotional Intelligence and the clip Blindness and Emotions? There is much research indicating that people put more emphasis on nonverbal communication when attaching meaning to a message. In several of your podcasts, especially those related to decision-making based on sensory perception, you mention that the eyes are the only organs directly connected to the brain. I believe this may offer some evidence as to why people tend to assign so much weight to nonverbal communication.
