Conversations are universal, and they are the main way that humans use to manage social interactions and connections. It's time we crack the science of conversations.
To understand this complexity, studying research participants in a lab looking at computer screens—the traditional setup of psychology experiments—isn’t enough. We need to study how people behave naturally in the real world, using novel measurement techniques that allow us to capture their neural and physiological responses.
In 2023, we will also finally be able to start capturing neural data while people are moving and talking to each other. This isn’t easy: Brain imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging involve inserting participants inside 12-ton brain scanners., however, managed that with a cohort of autistic participants.
In 2023 we will also for the first time be able to look at how this would work in large-group conversations, which tend to reach their limit with around five people. This is, of course, a big challenge, as conversations can be so flexible and open-ended, but it’s essential if we want to understand how the participants’ brains coordinate these finely timed conversational dances.
These breakthroughs will represent great strides in the scientific study of human conversation, one of the most fascinating areas of cognitive neuroscience and psychology. Of course, I’m slightly biased: I have studied human speech perception and production for decades, and I think conversations are where our linguistic, social, and emotional brain processes come together. Conversations are universal, and they are the main way that humans use to manage social interactions and connections.
