This study uses fMRI hyperscanning to show overlapping neural networks for speech production and comprehension during real-time conversations, extending beyond the language network into social cognition areas.

The paper introduces a model that predicts whole-brain fMRI activity from prefrontal fNIRS signals during movie-watching, showing significant prediction in 66 out of 122 brain regions.

This study uses fMRI hyperscanning and NLP to show that compromise-driven conversations with more exploration lead to greater agreement compared to persuasive conversations.
