“…With these techniques, studies have revealed various patterns of neural coupling elicited during social interaction; while temporally contingent brain responses are observed between interactants during verbal and non-verbal communication (Ahn et al, 2017;Bilek et al, 2015;Pérez, Carreiras, & Duñabeitia, 2017), between-brain synchrony or "alignment" (Hasson & Frith, 2016) is reported during cooperative and competitive joint-action tasks (e.g., Cheng, Li, & Hu, 2015;Sänger, Müller, & Lindenberger, 2012;Shaw et al, 2018;Toppi et al, 2016).…”
