"The Science of Gesture" (paper)

"The Science of Gesture" explores how human gestures—like hand movements and body language—serve as a vital form of non-verbal communication. The paper examines how gestures convey emotions, intentions, and ideas, often complementing spoken language. It discusses the neurological and cognitive processes behind gesture production and understanding, highlighting their role in interpersonal interactions, learning, and even technology interfaces. By analyzing various types of gestures, the research underscores their significance in enhancing communication effectiveness and facilitating social connection, illustrating that gestures are an integral part of how humans subtly share meaning beyond words.
