Abstract It has long been understood that the ventral visual stream of human brain processes features simulated faces. Recently, specificity for real and interactive faces reported in lateral dorsal streams, raising new questions regarding neural coding face-processing mechanisms. We compare activity during two live face-to-face conditions where facial tasks remain constant while social contexts (in-person or on-line conditions) are varied. Current models face processing do not predict differences these as vary. However, behavioral eye-tracking measures showed longer dwell times on also increased arousal indicated by pupil diameters condition. Consistent with findings, signal increases functional near infrared spectroscopy, fNIRS, were observed dorsal-parietal regions cross-brain synchrony was found within In-person Face Simultaneously, acquired electroencephalography, EEG, theta power conditions. These highlight importance natural, in-person, paradigms context understanding humans.

Abstract People frequently share their negative experiences and feelings with others. Little is known, however, about the social outcomes of sharing underlying neural mechanisms. We addressed this dearth knowledge by leveraging functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hyperscanning: while dyad participants took turns to own (self-disclosure group) or a stranger’s (non-disclosure neutral experiences, respective brain activity was recorded simultaneously fNIRS. observed that (relative neutral) enhanced greater mutual prosociality, emotional empathy interpersonal synchronization (INS) at left superior frontal cortex in self-disclosure group compared non-disclosure group. Importantly, mediation analyses further revealed (but not non-disclosure) group, increased INS elicited relative promoted prosociality through increasing liking. These results indicate can promote prosocial behaviors via dynamics (defined as affective cognitive factors, including liking) shared responses. Our findings suggest when people express sentiments, they incline follow up positive actions.

Social groups in various social species are organized with hierarchical structures that shape group dynamics and the nature of within-group interactions. In-group bonding, exemplified by grooming behaviors among animals collective rituals team-building activities human societies, is recognized as a practical adaptive strategy to foster harmony stabilize both nonhuman animal groups. However, neurocognitive mechanisms underlying effects bonding on remain largely unexplored. Here, we conducted simultaneous neural recordings participants engaged in-group communications within small ( n = 528, into 176 three-person groups) investigate how influenced interactions synchronizations. We differentiated interpersonal between individuals different (inter-status) or same (intra-status) status observed distinct inter-status intra-status Specifically, selectively increased frequent rapid information exchange prefrontal synchronization for dyads but not dyads. Furthermore, facilitated unidirectional alignment from leader followers, enabling leaders predictively align their activity followers. These findings provide insights influences while highlighting role shaping strength experiences

In recent years, extended reality (XR) has gained interest as a platform for human communication, with the emergence of “Metaverse” promising to reshape social interactions. At same time, concerns about harmful behavior and criminal activities in virtual environments have increased. This paper explores potential technology support harmony within XR, focusing specifically on audio aspects. We introduce concept acoustic coherence discuss why it is crucial smooth interaction. further explain challenges speech communication including noise reverberation, review sound processing methods enhance auditory experience. also comment using tool development evaluation algorithms aimed at enhancing communication. Finally, we present results pilot study comparing several enhancement techniques inside environment.

Abstract Expressing appreciation is essential for establishing interpersonal closeness, but virtual interactions are increasingly common and create social distance. Little known about the neural inter-brain correlates of expressing potential effects videoconferencing on this kind interaction. Here, we assess coherence with functional near-infrared spectroscopy while dyads expressed to one another. We scanned 36 (72 participants) who interacted in either an in-person or (Zoom®) condition. Participants reported their subjective experience closeness. As predicted, increased closeness between dyad partners.

In the digital era, integration of technology within business processes is pivotal for organizational efficiency. This study investigates impact IT characteristics-specifically representation, reach, and monitoring capability-on virtualizability processes, utilizing frameworks Embodied Social Presence Theory (ESPT) Process Virtualization (PVT). Our objective to explore how these characteristics, through mediation embodied co-presence, enhance process in context collaborative tools. Addressing a gap existing literature, we propose that beyond facilitating virtualization, characteristics deeply influence virtual by integrating human-centric experiences co-presence. To examine this, analyzed data from 311 Korean employees with remote work experience during COVID-19 pandemic using Smart-PLS 4. findings indicate representation reach significantly contribute virtualizability, mediated Surprisingly, capability did not affect either co-presence or challenging initial assumptions. bridges ESPT PVT offer new insights into roles highlighting importance design. The results provide valuable guidance businesses developers tools, underscoring need environments fosters sense presence collaboration.
