Promoting social connectedness through multi-person neurofeedback

This study shows that multi-person neurofeedback increases inter-brain coupling and social connectedness in dyads compared to a control group.

A computational and multi-brain signature for aberrant social coordination in schizophrenia

This study examines social coordination in schizophrenia using a joint finger-tapping task and finds disrupted inter-brain synchronization and behavioral coordination.

Towards fNIRS Hyperfeedback: A Feasibility Study on Real-Time Interbrain Synchrony

This study assesses the feasibility of real-time interbrain synchrony measurement using fNIRS and wavelet transform coherence for neurofeedback applications.

Three heads are better than one: Cooperative learning brains wire together when a consensus is reached

This study shows that cooperative learning leads to increased neural synchronization among triads, which is amplified when consensus is reached and predicts learning outcomes.

Interpersonal brain synchronization with instructor compensates for learner's sleep deprivation in interactive learning

The paper shows that instructor-learner brain synchronization compensates for sleep-deprived learners' performance deficits during interactive learning.

Instructor-learner brain coupling discriminates between instructional approaches and predicts learning

This study shows brain-to-brain coupling during instruction correlates with learning outcomes and is influenced by scaffolding behaviors, not explanation approaches, and machine learning better decodes instructional methods from coupling data.

Improving Social Interactive Learning through Dual Brain Stimulation

This study shows that dual brain stimulation can enhance social interactive learning by inducing synchronized brain activity and movement between an instructor and learner.
