Abstract: | Background Brains interact with the world through actions that are implemented by sensory and motor processes. A substantial part of
these interactions consists in synchronized goal-directed actions involving two or more individuals. Hyperscanning techniques
for assessing fMRI simultaneously from two individuals have been developed. However, EEG recordings that permit the assessment
of synchronized neuronal activities at much higher levels of temporal resolution have not yet been simultaneously assessed
in multiple individuals and analyzed in the time-frequency domain. In this study, we simultaneously recorded EEG from the
brains of each of eight pairs of guitarists playing a short melody together to explore the extent and the functional significance
of synchronized cortical activity in the course of interpersonally coordinated actions. |
