Neural mechanisms underlying interpersonal coordination: A review of hyperscanning research

Abstract

The ability to coordinate our behaviors with those of others is crucial for our success as individuals and groups. There are many forms of interpersonal coordination where a group of individuals need to coordinate their attention, actions, minds, or speech to achieve a mutual goal. In the present paper, we review previous hyperscanning research on the neural mechanisms underlying a variety of interpersonal coordination. Then we highlight how social and cultural factors modulate the interbrain mechanisms of interpersonal coordination. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of exciting future directions that await investigation from a cultural neuroscience perspective.
