“…In our case, the interpersonal touch might be understood as such an external event, which alters the physiological state of the receiver and through this alteration allows an embodied interpretation or understanding of the communicated message. This view is supported by studies showing effects of touch on several physiological parameters, for example breathing frequency, heart rate and its variability, and stress hormone levels (for review see [31]). Furthermore, specifically, light stroking, which is typical for signalling calming or loving emotions [2], activates the insular cortex [32,33] associated with interoception [34].…”

This view is supported by studies showing effects of touch on several physiological parameters, for example breathing frequency, heart rate and its variability, and stress hormone levels (for review see Kidd et al, 2023). Furthermore, specifically light stroking, which is typical for signaling calming or loving emotions (McIntyre et al, 2022), activates the insular cortex (Björnsdotter et al 2009;Morrison, Björnsdotter, and Olausson 2011) associated with interoception (Craig, 2002).…”

“…Other strategies aimed to reduce social isolation and improve psychological well-being while minimizing pathogen spread can also be crucial for our health during a pandemic 48 , 140 , 141 , where outcomes may vary as a function of the nature of the interactions. For example, one might expect high infection transmission when touching a loved one compared to chatting with them, and Spencer et al 142 discussed how the infection risk due to spontaneous face and eye-touching may be accompanied by a gain in mutualistic microbiota.…”
