Suffer together, bond together: Brain-to-brain synchronization and mutual affective empathy when sharing painful experiences

NeuroImage, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 238, С. 118249 - 118249

Опубликована: Июнь 8, 2021

Previous behavioral studies have shown that sharing painful experiences can strengthen social bonds and promote mutual prosociality, yet the neural mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain unclear. We hypothesized a experience induces brain-to-brain synchronization empathy for each other's pain between pain-takers pain-observers, which then leads to enhanced bonding. To test hypothesis, we adopted an electroencephalographic (EEG) hyper-scanning technique assess neuronal activity during Pain-Sharing task in high- or low-intensity stimulation was randomly delivered one participant of dyad on different experimental trials. Single-brain analysis showed sensorimotor α-oscillation power suppressed more when expecting high-intensity than similarly self-directed partner-directed pain. Dual-brain revealed induced greater phases pain-observers did Mediation further α-oscillations mediated effects pain-stimulation intensity affective This predicted bonding, as indexed by prosocial inclinations measured after task. These results support hypothesis triggers emotional resonance pairs individuals through recorded over cortex, strengthens motivates behavior within individuals.

In sync with your child: The potential of parent–child electroencephalography in developmental research

Developmental Psychobiology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 64(3)

Abstract Healthy interaction between parent and child is foundational for the child's socioemotional development. Recently, an innovative paradigm shift in electroencephalography (EEG) research has enabled simultaneous measurement of neural activity caregiver child. This dual‐EEG or hyperscanning approach, termed parent–child dual‐EEG, combines strength both behavioral observations EEG methods. In this review, we aim to inform on potential parents children (0–6 years) developmental researchers. We first provide a general overview technique continue by reviewing empirical work emerging field discussing limited but fascinating findings brain‐to‐behavior brain‐to‐brain synchrony. then providing analysis techniques, including technical challenges solutions one may encounter. finish future research. The multiple data challenging, when performed well, transform way understand how connect neurobiological level. Importantly, studying objective physiological measures interactions could lead identification novel synchrony markers quality.

Social synchronization of brain activity increases during eye-contact

Communications Biology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 5(1)

Опубликована: Май 4, 2022

Abstract Humans make eye-contact to extract information about other people’s mental states, recruiting dedicated brain networks that process the self and others. Recent studies show increases synchronization between two brains but do not consider its effects on activity within single brains. Here we investigate how affects frequency direction of corresponding network characteristics. We also evaluate functional relevance by comparing inter- intra-brain friends vs. strangers leaders followers. higher in gamma band. Network analysis reveals some areas serve as hubs linking within- between-brain networks. During eye-contact, inter-brain than strangers. Dyads with clear leader/follower roles demonstrate from leader follower alpha Importantly, more brains, demonstrating is an inherently social signal. Future work should elucidate causal mechanisms behind induced synchronization.

Relations between family cohesion and adolescent-parent’s neural synchrony in response to emotional stimulations

Behavioral and Brain Functions, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 18(1)

Abstract Background The interaction between parent and adolescent is more challenging than in other age periods. Family cohesion seriously impacts parent-adolescent emotional interactions. However, the underlying neural mechanism has not been fully examined. This study examined differences synchrony response to film clips high low family adolescent-parent dyads by using electroencephalograph (EEG) hyperscanning.

Mobile fNIRS for exploring inter-brain synchrony across generations and time

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.

Neurophysiological markers of asymmetric emotional contagion: implications for organizational contexts

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 18

Опубликована: Янв. 30, 2024

Emotions play a vital role within organizations, impacting various crucial aspects of work such as job satisfaction, performance, and employee well-being. Understanding how emotional states spread in organizational settings is therefore essential. Recent studies have highlighted that leader’s state can influence their followers, with significant consequences on performance. Leaders thus possess the ability to employees’ psychological and, consequently, However, biological underpinnings contagion from leaders followers remain unexplored. The field interpersonal (neuro)physiology, which involves recording brain peripheral activity multiple individuals during interactions, holds great potential for investigating this phenomenon. Analyzing time-lagged synchronization neurophysiological interactions may serve measure contexts.

Adolescent social anxiety undermines adolescent-parent interbrain synchrony during emotional processing: A hyperscanning study

Social anxiety severely impacts adolescents' social interactions with others; however, the underlying neural mechanism has not been revealed. This study examined how adolescent's level influences interbrain synchrony within adolescent-parent dyads during emotional processing by using electroencephalograph (EEG) hyperscanning. A sample of 25 completed picture task. Adolescents' ages ranged from 10 to 14 years old.

Parent–infant EEG is a novel hyperscanning paradigm to measure social interaction simultaneously in the brains of parents and infants. The number studies using parent–infant dual-EEG as theoretical framework brain-to-brain synchrony during rapidly growing, while methodology for measuring not yet uniform. While adult quickly improving, open databases, tutorials, methodological validations with infants are largely missing. In this practical guide, we provide step-by-step manual on how implement run paradigms neurodevelopmental laboratory naturalistic settings (e.g., free interactions). Next, highlight insights variety choices that can be made (pre)processing data, including recommendations interpersonal neural coupling metrics interpretations results. Moreover, an exemplar dataset two mother–infant dyads interactions (“free play”) may serve practice material.
