What I Observed & Participants' Experience

As expected, the first stage (1minute) went really "funny and awkward" as they said. Their facial expressions were constantly changing during this stage. Eyes moving, unsure of where to look at. Smiling and laughing out of awkwardness.

During second stage, I noticed that their facial expressions became more relaxed and natural as they stoped laughing. "You became less aware of the person sat in front of you and more comfortable with the situation." "You also become more aware of yourself - my body flinches."

At stage 3, their postures became really relaxed, while their blinking turned slower, as if they got sleepy. "You become very used to the space as well as the person you are staring at. It is almost as if it is a "routine" and not a task" "You drift in and out of consciousness, one moment you and your partner are present, the next I feel very spaced out - you lose your sense of time."
