" ... Newport: This whole phenomenon of weak-tie connections being crucial was actually really puzzling if you step back and look at it in historical perspective. One of the supposed advantages you get by being on a digital social network like Facebook is that it allows you to keep some connection with weak-tie acquaintances, people that you would otherwise not have any contact with. Around the same time, we've had the growth of network scientists, where people have tried to study that there are benefits for weak ties. This typically comes from graph-theory style network analysis that shows how information spreads and what's the right way to connect a graph, and what are different measures of connectivity. That's all interesting theory, but it doesn't change the reality that we are not evolved for weak-tie friendships. There's no evidence that a thriving social life actually requires that you know the date of the birthday of someone you haven't seen since high school. When I push people to move their interactions back to the real world, one of their concerns is that is going to leave a lot of people off the table. I don't have time to do real-world interaction with all the people with whom I'm Facebook friends, and my response is, fine. I think you are going to be happy socially going back to the way that we've socialized for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, which is, you have close friends, family members, and community people, whose life you know a lot about, that you're invested in, and with whom you interact in the real world. That's the formula for a thriving social life regardless of what a network scientist says about some mathematical analysis of how information moves through networks with a particular graph conductance or what-have-you. ...

" ... Responses were measured via skin conductance and activation of their facial muscles. It’s believed that changes in our skin conductance is a reflection of the level to which our autonomous nervous system is activated. The activation of our facial muscles reflects the positivity or negativity of this effect. ... "
" ... The next part of the study moved the experiment into a lab to more closely control the conditions. Researchers recruited a mix of 110 ASMR and non-ASMR experiencing participants and took baseline measurements of their heart rates and skin conductance responses (a way to measure emotional arousal). The participants then watched the ASMR and control videos and, as in the first part of the study, reported on the frequency of their sensations. The researchers measured their heart rates and skin conductance responses again while they watched the videos to compare against the baseline measurements. ... "
" ... To sort out how we react to seeing someone virtually, the researchers used measurements of skin conductance which tracks activation of the autonomic nervous system. They also measured facial muscles to see how the participants’ felt about the interaction. Study participants looked at another person's direct and averted gaze in three situations: in-person interaction, a video call and just watching a video. ... "
