Developments in cognitive neuroscience have led to the emergence of hyperscanning, simultaneous measurement brain activity from multiple people. Hyperscanning is useful for investigating social cognition, including joint action, because its ability capture neural processes that occur within and between people as they coordinate actions toward a shared goal. Here, we provide practical guide researchers considering using hyperscanning study action seeking avoid frequently raised concerns skeptics. We focus specifically on Electroencephalography (EEG) which widely available optimally suited capturing fine-grained temporal dynamics coordination. Our guidelines cover questions are likely arise when planning project, ranging whether appropriate answering one's research considerations design, dependent variable selection, data analysis visualization. By following clear facilitate careful consideration theoretical implications design choices other methodological decisions, can mitigate interpretability issues maximize benefits paradigms.

While still relatively rare, longitudinal hyperscanning studies are exceptionally valuable for documenting changes in inter-brain synchrony, which may turn underpin how behaviors develop and evolve social settings. The generalizability ecological validity of this experimental approach hinges on the selected imaging technique being mobile–a requirement met by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). fNIRS has most frequently been used to examine development synchrony behavior child-parent dyads. In position paper, we contend that dedicating attention intergenerational stands benefit fields cognitive neuroscience more broadly.

While adult quickly improving, open databases, tutorials, methodological validations with infants are largely missing.

Our study assessed whether communicative during attention enhance infant-caregiver dyads' neural responses objects, their synchrony. To track mutual processes, we applied rhythmic stimulation (RVS), presenting images of objects 12-month-old infants mothers (n = 37 dyads), while recorded activity (i.e., steady-state evoked potentials, SSVEPs) with electroencephalography (EEG) hyperscanning. Within dyads, either communicatively showed the infant or watched without engagement. cues increased mothers' SSVEPs at central-occipital-parietal, central electrode sites, respectively. Infants significantly more gaze behaviour Dyadic synchrony (SSVEP amplitude envelope correlations, AECs) was not modulated by cues. Taken together, maternal in shape own processes.
