“…While self-other integration occurs within a single individual's brain, it may potentially lead to coupling across individuals by inducing compatible modulations of activity in sensorimotor regions [83]. Such comodulation may be a prerequisite for simple forms of unintentional interpersonal coordination as well as complex varieties of intentional coordination that require joint planning.…”

Human interaction often requires simultaneous precision and flexibility in the coordination of rhythmic behaviour between individuals engaged in joint activity, for example, playing a musical duet or dancing with a partner. This review article addresses the psychological processes and brain mechanisms that enable such rhythmic interpersonal coordination. First, an overview is given of research on the cognitive-motor processes that enable individuals to represent joint action goals and to anticipate, attend and adapt to other's actions in real time. Second, the neurophysiological mechanisms that underpin rhythmic interpersonal coordination are sought in studies of sensorimotor and cognitive processes that play a role in the representation and integration of self- and other-related actions within and between individuals' brains. Finally, relationships between social–psychological factors and rhythmic interpersonal coordination are considered from two perspectives, one concerning how social-cognitive tendencies (e.g. empathy) affect coordination, and the other concerning how coordination affects interpersonal affiliation, trust and prosocial behaviour. Our review highlights musical ensemble performance as an ecologically valid yet readily controlled domain for investigating rhythm in joint action.

“…Like two-brain studies on non-verbal communication (Anders et al, 2011;Ménoret et al, 2014;Schippers et al, 2010), most of these studies have used the multi-brain approach to investigate 'information flow' from the brain of the sender (the speaker) to the brain of the receiver (the listener). In other words, to what extent is neural activity associated with encoding of information by the sender mirrored in the activity associated with the decoding of that information by the receiver?…”

a b s t r a c tVerbal interaction is one of the most frequent social interactions humans encounter on a daily basis. In the current paper, we zoom in on what the multi-brain approach has contributed, and can contribute in the future, to our understanding of the neural mechanisms supporting verbal interaction. Indeed, since verbal interaction can only exist between individuals, it seems intuitive to focus analyses on interindividual neural markers, i.e. between-brain neural coupling. To date, however, there is a severe lack of theoretically-driven, testable hypotheses about what between-brain neural coupling actually reflects. In this paper, we develop a testable hypothesis in which between-pair variation in between-brain neural coupling is of key importance. Based on theoretical frameworks and empirical data, we argue that the level of between-brain neural coupling reflects speaker-listener alignment at different levels of linguistic and extra-linguistic representation. We discuss the possibility that between-brain neural coupling could inform us about the highest level of inter-speaker alignment: mutual understanding.

“…However, most of them have mainly focused on body-movement synchronization involved in concurrent interactions using various tasks such as key-press task (Cui, Bryant, & Reiss, 2012;Funane et al, 2011), finger-movement task (Holper, Scholkmann, & Wolf, 2012;Naeem, Prasad, Watson, & Kelso, 2012;Yun, Watanabe, & Shimojo, 2012), and music-playing task (Babiloni et al, 2012). Little is known about the neural mechanism of turn-based interaction due to the complex dynamics of interactive situations (Ménoret et al, 2014).…”
