for disseminating the research advances developed within COST Action 2102: Cross-Modal Analysis
of Verbal and Nonverbal Communication cs. stir. ac. uk. COST 2102 research networking has
contributed to modifying the conventional theoretical approach to the cross-modal analysis of
verbal and nonverbal communi- tion changing the concept of face to face communication with that
of body to body communication as well as developing the idea of embodied information.
Information is no longer the result of a difference in perception and is no longer measured in
terms of quantity of stimuli  since the research developed in COST 2102 has proved that human
information processing is a nonlinear process that cannot be seen as the sum of the numerous
pieces of information available. Considering simply the pieces of inf- mation available 
results in a model of the receiver as a mere decoder  and produces a huge simplification of the
communication process.
