Left Temporoparietal Neural Synchrony Tracks Cooperative Performance Across Adult Dyads

The paper examines neural synchrony in dyads during a cooperative task and finds it varies with relationship type and performance metrics.

Wavelet Transform Coherence Under Controlled Temporal Correspondence and Social Co-Presence: Implications for fNIRS Hyperscanning

This study evaluates wavelet transform coherence (WTC) in fNIRS hyperscanning, showing it reliably detects temporal correspondence but is context-sensitive, particularly influenced by social co-presence.

Over-Synchrony: Higher Maternal Neuroticism Associates with Stronger Interpersonal Neural Synchrony with Child During Passive and Free Interactions

This study finds that higher maternal neuroticism is linked to stronger interpersonal neural synchrony with children during passive and free interactions, but not during structured tasks.

Interpersonal Neural Synchrony Across Levels of Interpersonal Closeness and Social Interactivity

This study examines how interpersonal closeness and social interactivity affect neural synchrony using hyperscanning, finding that true dyads show higher synchrony than surrogates, with variations by dyad type and interaction condition.

Emotional and Linguistic Features Predict Prefrontal Functional Connectivity during Ongoing Dialogues: An fNIRS Investigation

This study investigates how emotional and linguistic features influence prefrontal functional connectivity during real-life dialogues using fNIRS hyperscanning and computational analysis.

Emotional Content and Semantic Structure of Dialogues Are Associated With Interpersonal Neural Synchrony in the Prefrontal Cortex

This study finds that emotional content in dialogues predicts prefrontal neural synchrony better than syntactic/semantic features, with emotional content showing stronger overall associations.

Father-child dyads exhibit unique inter-subject synchronisation during co-viewing of animation video stimuli

The paper examines inter-subject synchronisation in father-child dyads during co-viewing of animation videos, finding greater synchrony in true dyads compared to control dyads, especially in emotionally arousing scenes.

Recalled parental bonding interacts with oxytocin receptor gene polymorphism in modulating anxiety and avoidance in adult relationships

This study examines how parental bonding and the oxytocin receptor gene polymorphism (rs53576) interact to influence anxiety and avoidance in adult relationships among young adults in Italy and Singapore.

Gene-environment interactions in face categorisation: experience with a nanny and oxytocin receptor genotype interact to reduce face categorization reaction times

This study finds a gene-environment interaction where oxytocin receptor genotype and nanny experience influence face categorization reaction times in adults.

Disapproval from romantic partners, friends and parents: source of criticism regulates prefrontal cortex activity

The paper examines neural responses to criticism from different relationship types using fNIRS, finding varied prefrontal cortex activation based on perceived criticism levels.

Enlarged Ingroup Effect: How a Shared Culture Shapes In-Group Perception

The paper investigates how a shared culture influences social perception of in-group and out-group members using fMRI, finding that shared cultural contexts activate similar brain networks for same and different-race faces.

Maternal Anxious Attachment Style is Associated with Reduced Mother-Child Brain-to-Brain Synchrony

The paper examines how maternal anxious attachment style affects mother-child brain-to-brain synchrony during shared media viewing.
