Biobehavioral synchrony, the coordination of physiological and behavioral signals between mother infant during social contact, tunes child's brain to world. Probing this mechanism from a two-brain perspective, we examine associations patterns mother-infant inter-brain synchrony two well-studied maternal orientations-sensitivity intrusiveness-which have repeatedly been shown predict positive negative socio-emotional outcomes, respectively. Using dual-electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings, measure connectivity 60 mothers their 5- 12-month-old infants face-to-face interaction. Thirty connections show significantly higher correlations real interaction compared surrogate data. Brain-behavior indicate that sensitivity linked with greater neural whereas intrusiveness is associated lower coordination. Post hoc analysis reveals mother-right-frontal-infant-left-temporal connection particularly sensitive mother's style, while mother-left-frontal-infant-right-temporal indexes intrusive style. Our results support perspective by which mature brains externally regulate immature living suggest one pathway exert long-term effect may relate provision coordinated inputs its period maturation.

Generation WhatsApp: inter-brain synchrony during face-to-face and texting communication

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(1)

Abstract Texting has become one of the most prevalent ways to interact socially, particularly among youth; however, effects text messaging on social brain functioning are unknown. Guided by biobehavioral synchrony frame, this pre-registered study utilized hyperscanning EEG evaluate interbrain during face-to-face versus texting interactions. Participants included 65 mother-adolescent dyads observed conversation compared from different rooms. Results indicate that both and communication elicit significant neural surrogate data, demonstrating for first time brain-to-brain texting. Direct comparison between two interactions highlighted 8 fronto-temporal links were significantly stronger in interaction Our findings suggest partners co-create a network inter-brain connections live exchanges. The degree improvement partners' right-frontal-right-frontal connectivity correlated with greater behavioral synchrony, suggesting well-researched connection may be specific communication. while technology-based allows humans synchronize afar, remain superior mode interpersonal connection. We conclude discussing potential benefits drawbacks pervasive use texting, youth.

Hyperscanning, a neuroimaging approach introduced in 2002 for simultaneously recording the brain activity of multiple participants, has significantly contributed to our understanding social interactions. Nevertheless, existing literature requires systematic organization advance knowledge.

Moving beyond the lab: investigating empathy through the Empirical 5E approach

Frontiers in Psychology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14

Опубликована: Июль 13, 2023

Empathy is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that plays crucial role in human social interactions. Recent developments neuroscience have provided valuable insights into the neural underpinnings bodily mechanisms underlying empathy. This methodology often prioritizes precision, replicability, internal validity, confound control. However, fully understanding complexity of empathy seems unattainable by solely relying on artificial controlled laboratory settings, while overlooking comprehensive view through an ecological experimental approach. In this article, we propose articulating integrative theoretical methodological framework based 5E approach (the "E"s stand for embodied, embedded, enacted, emotional, extended perspectives empathy), highlighting relevance studying as active interaction between embodied agents, embedded shared real-world environment. addition, illustrate how novel multimodal including mobile brain body imaging (MoBi) combined with phenomenological methods, implementation interactive paradigms natural context, are adequate procedures to study from doing so, present Empirical (E5E) scientific bridge brain/body attributes interbody setting. Progressing toward E5E can be accordance it experienced real world.

The strategies for social interaction between strangers differ from those acquaintances, whereas the differences in neural basis of have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we examined geometrical properties interpersonal networks pairs and acquaintances during antiphase joint tapping. Dual electroencephalogram (EEG) 29 channels per participant was measured 14 13 acquaintance pairs.Intra-brain synchronizations were calculated using weighted phase lag index (wPLI) intra-brain electrode combinations, inter-brain locking value (PLV) combinations theta, alpha, beta frequency bands. For each pair, with larger wPLI/PLV than their surrogates defined as edges networks. We global efficiency, local modularity derived graph theory combined intra- pair. theta band networks, stranger showed efficiency pairs, indicating that two brains more densely connected. Hence, weak ties require extensive interactions result high information transfer neighbors network.

Mindful bridge: Brief mindfulness practices alter negative emotion transmission and cooperative performance in parent–adolescent dynamics

Applied Psychology Health and Well-Being, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 2, 2025

Parent-adolescent emotion transmission is crucial for adolescents' psychological development. Parental negative emotions could impair parent-adolescent interaction and relationships. Brief mindfulness practices (BMPs) are effective improving emotional regulation reducing emotions. However, few studies explored the effects of BMP on transmission. This study used hyperscanning technique to examine differences in change states, cooperative performance, interbrain synchrony (IBS) between group (20 dyads) control rest (CR) under induced parental cooperation tasks. Results showed (1) decreases emotions, hostility, state anxiety after BMP, but only decreased CR rest; (2) an increase success rate no (3) IBS delta theta bands feedback increases failure rest. These findings suggest that may mitigate adolescents promote their focused attitude toward cooperation.

Abstract Collective decision making using simple social interactions has been studied in many types of multiagent systems, including robot swarms and human networks. However, existing studies have rarely modeled the neural dynamics that underlie sensorimotor coordination embodied biological agents. In this study, we investigated collective decisions resulted from among agents with dynamics. We equipped our a model minimal based on framework, embedded them an environment stimulus gradient. single-agent setup, between two sources depends solely agent’s its environment. same also agents, via their interactions. Our results show success depended balance intra-agent, interagent, agent–environment coupling, use these to identify influences environmental factors difficulty. More generally, illustrate how behaviors can be analyzed terms participating This contribute ongoing developments neuro-AI self-organized systems.

Young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) traits frequently encounter difficulties in peer interaction. Assessing interaction performance is crucial but challenging within the clinical diagnostic paradigm of ASD. Hyperscanning, which simultaneously monitors brain activity multiple individuals, has become a popular tool for assessing social interaction's neural features. The present study aims to investigate brain-to-brain connectivity between child-dyads engaged game-like collaborative task via hyperscanning electroencephalogram (EEG) approach. final sample comprised 66 young children: 18 child dyads typical development (TD), TD-TD, and 15 ASD matched TD, TD-ASD. indicated depressed level dyad group as responder, notable decrease observed beta oscillation over right parietal left temporal coupling subjects. A pattern that differed from TD-TD was identified regard full-band right-to-right region. It exhibited enhanced following completion task, not case TD-ASD group. Significant correlations were scores on symptom rating scale selected significant interbrain index. application EEG demonstrated participating autistic an attenuated apparently distinct alteration comparison control These findings highlight value physiologically based measures informing etiological interventional studies neuropsychiatry.
