## Caption

Over time, as you talk face-to-face with people, your brain connects elements such as vocal tone, word choice, emotion, and gesture together. When you talk on the phone, the physical feedback you'd normally get isn't available. The connections you've formed, however, mean that the parts of the brain associated with movement still fire.⁠
⁠
The brain basically fills in what it perceives as missing, and you translate your emotional responses into physical movements. Pacing or making other physical gestures while talking on the phone is a somewhat involuntary physiological response shaped by years of social conditioning.⁠
⁠
Pacing while on the phone is a perfectly normal reaction to the absence of a stimulus you normally get during the conversation.⁠
