During the experiment, participants spent four hours in the laboratory, where they could only communicate through a limited number of defined and standardized messages in the form of emails and all communication was monitored by a specially designed program. By analyzing data from the experiment, the researchers found that a strong communication network was created and that information in the network was controlled by the mutual trust between participants.
