This study finds that neural synchronization during narrative processing predicts religious affiliation with 92% accuracy, suggesting it reflects group cohesion mechanisms.

The paper investigates the role of the reward system during natural story comprehension and finds that reward areas are activated and related to sentence predictability.

This study examines if narrative engagement synchronizes brain responses across listeners using fMRI data from a pre-registered analysis of a story listening experiment.

The paper examines if attachment-related cues trigger cross-brain synchrony in mothers, finding widespread neural concordance in both the parenting network and across the neuroaxis, especially in social contexts.

This study uses real-time fMRI neurofeedback to influence interpretations of a naturalistic narrative, finding that higher decoding accuracy correlates with successful interpretation shifts.

This study shows that combining movement synchronization with complexity better predicts interpersonal liking than synchronization alone, suggesting that maintaining interest is critical for social bonding.

This study investigates how political partisanship affects neural responses to political content, finding differences in brain activity between left- and right-wing participants.

This paper uses fine-tuned deep language models to model differences in narrative interpretation based on listeners' perspectives, showing alignment with neural responses and cognitive networks.

The paper investigates how maternal brain activity responds to social moments during caregiving, identifying four processes linked to oxytocin and social behavior.

This study investigates how the brain integrates and segregates information during narrative processing, showing that neural patterns specific to storylines are reinstated during transitions and that motif reinstatement correlates with better integration of events.

STORM-Net provides a fast, automatic, and hardware-free method for registering fNIRS optodes to the scalp, validated on adults and infants with comparable accuracy to existing methods.

The paper introduces a benchmark dataset of fMRI data from human subjects listening to naturalistic stories for evaluating language and narrative comprehension models.

The paper shows that neural responses to small narrative changes are amplified through the brain's temporal processing hierarchy, correlating with regions' time-integration capabilities.
