== Concise description of theory ==

ESP Theory posits that the body is the nexus of communication, and that an embodied representation affects the perceptions of users by drawing them into a higher level of cognitive engagement in their shared activities and communication acts. During this process users engage in a loop of shifting attentional focus on the virtual and real self, on the other social actor’s virtual and real self, and on the context of interactions.
