Physiological analysis of entrainment in face-to-face communication
Tomio Watanabe, Masashi Okubo · International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction · 1997
The physiological entrainment of respiration between talkers is researched on the basis of burst-pause of speech, respiration and heart beat-to-beat interval as indices from the viewpoint that respiratory entrainment would be a physiological main factor to make communication smooth in face-to-face interaction. The existence of respiratory entrainment is demonstrated by the cross-correlation analysis of the indices. The evaluation of respiratory entrainment could be applied to the evaluation of face-to-face interaction support systems such as a teleconference system.
