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 of sociality has witnessed a shift in 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 Relational Neuroscience, considering variety subfields, including cooperative interactions dyads groups, empathy, attachment bonding, developmental neuroscience. While presenting Neuroscience light hyperscanning, our discussion also takes into account behaviour, physiology endocrinology properly interpret contexts. consider strengths but limitations caveats answer interacting people. The aim is provide an integrative framework future work build better theories contexts subfields model sociality.

Interpersonal emotion regulation (IER) refers to the dynamic process where a regulator employs specific strategies alleviate target's distress. It remains unclear whether successful IER could facilitate interpersonal relationship closeness (IRC). The present study aimed explore IER, based on two typical strategies-cognitive reappraisal (CR) and expressive suppression (ES)-for down-regulating negative emotions, enhance IRC among friend dyads, identify underlying neural correlates of this using functional near-infrared spectroscopy system. Seventy-four female dyads (friends) were randomly assigned one strategy groups (CR vs. ES), with participant as target other regulator. Our finds revealed that both have down-regulated however, CR was associated more outcomes (more improvement targets' emotions; higher IRC) than ES strategy. recruited enhanced brain synchronization (IBS) prefrontal temporal areas dyads. IBS above-mentioned networks in sadness, reversed pattern found anger, inferring successive effective anger. increased these regions played mediational role between effectiveness emotions increment IRC. findings coupling mechanism through which fostered supportive social bonds.

Abstract Introduction For researchers and medical simulation trainers, measuring team dynamics is vital for providing targeted feedback that can lead to improved patient outcomes. It also valuable research, such as investigating which benefit performance. Traditional assessment methods, questionnaires observations, are often subjective static, lacking the ability capture dynamics. To address these shortcomings, this study explores use of physiological synchrony (PS) measured through electrocardiogram (ECG) data evaluate automated in high-resolution. Methods A multicentre observational field was conducted involving 214 first responders during mixed reality (MR) mass casualty training sessions. Participants were equipped with sensors MR gear. The dyadic PS using heart rate (HR), root mean square successive differences (RMSSD), standard deviation NN intervals (SDNN). Data collected at high frequency analysed dynamic time warping (dtw) assess fluctuations PS. Results Findings indicate varies significantly by task nature, higher cooperative tasks compared baseline. Different ECG metrics offered unique insights into Proximity scenario conditions influenced PS, closer teamwork leading Smaller sampling (e.g. 5 s) provided a detailed view over time. Discussion results demonstrate potential an indicator performance cohesion. High-resolution monitoring provides dynamics, offering high-resolution traditional methods cannot provide. integration measures programmes enhance objective, data.

Group identification may influence collective behaviors and result in variations performance. However, the evidence for this hypothesis neural mechanisms involved remain elusive. To end, we conducted a study using both single-brain activation multi-brain synchronization analyses to investigate how group influences problem-solving murder mystery case. Our results showed that groups with high levels of performed better individually compared those low identification, as supported by dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Furthermore, high-identification also enhanced performance, within-group (GNS) orbitofrontal (OFC). The DLPFC-OFC connectivity played crucial role linking individual Overall, our provides two-in-one model explain affects decision-making processes, offering valuable insights into dynamics interactions.

Interpersonal emotion regulation is the dynamic process where regulator aims to change target's emotional state, which presumed engage three neural systems: cognitive control (i.e., dorsal and ventral lateral PFC, etc.), empathy/social cognition premotor regions, temporal-parietal junction, affective response insula, amygdala, etc.). This study aimed identify underlying correlate (especially interpersonal one), of based on two typical strategies (cognitive appraisal, expressive suppression). Thirty-four female dyads (friends) were randomly assigned into strategy groups, with one as target other downregulate negative emotions using strategies. A functional near-infrared spectroscopy system was used simultaneously measure participants' activity. Results showed that these could successfully targets' emotions. Both evoked intrapersonal couplings between control, social cognition, mirror neuron systems (e.g., cortex, whereas reappraisal (vs suppression) a broader pattern. Further, involved increased brain synchronization prefrontal temporal areas at sharing stage, suppression associated PFC stage. These findings indicate regions within abovementioned systems, possibly involving mental processes, such mentalizing, observing, underlie or suppression.
