Humans are highly social, typically without this ability requiring noticeable efforts. Yet, such social fluency poses challenges both for the human brain to compute and scientists study. Over last few decades, neuroscientific research in sociality has witnessed a shift focus from single-brain analysis complex dynamics occurring across several brains, posing questions about what these mean how they relate multifaceted behavioural models. We propose term Relational Neuroscience collate interdisciplinary field devoted modelling inter-brain subserving connections, spanning real-time joint experiences long-term bonds. Hyperscanning, i.e., simultaneously measuring activity multiple individuals, proven be promising technique investigate dynamics. Here, we discuss hyperscanning can help within of Neuroscience, considering variety subfields, including cooperative interactions dyads groups, empathy, attachment bonding, developmental neuroscience. While presenting light hyperscanning, our discussion also takes into account behaviour, physiology endocrinology properly interpret contexts. consider strengths but limitations caveats answer interacting brains. The aim is provide an integrative framework future work build better theories contexts subfields model sociality.
