for feedback. Psychological noise is likely to be
minimal because each person can see whether the
other is distracted.

which happens yourself. Here both source (sender)
and receiver is only one. So, the feedback works
without any interruption. A message originating
from source part of the brain travels through the
channel of nerves to reach another location.
