Joseph Messinger is the father of Gestural Neuroprogramming, demonstrating that neuronal patterns determine extraneuronal schemes explained in the form of psychoanatomic meanings, with a certain meaning assigned to each gesture or set of gestures. Bringing nonverbal communication on the territory of neurosciences removes it from the empirical psychological field in which it has existed so far and its scientific validation. Starting from this theory we highlighted the existence of 5 variables that bring their contribution to the gestural interpretation and on the basis of which a universal schema of gestural interpretation can be drawn.
