Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To determine whether Inter-Brain Synchrony (IBS) in cooperative behaviour is a social interaction-specific synchrony, after eliminating as far as possible the influence of the three non-specific neural synchronies that can induce IBS.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Inter-Brain Synchrony value during cooperative tangram puzzles
(Wavelet Transform Coherence value)

Key secondary outcomes

1. Synchronized value of emotion (Self-Assessment Manikin scale: Valence, Activation)
2. Synchronized value of eye movement (mutual gazing time, gazing rate)
3. Synchronized value of physical behavior (angular velocity of right elbow and wrist joint)
4. Synchronized value of autonomic responses (skin conductance level, skin conductance response, heart rate, heart rate variability)
5. Number of Tangram puzzle assignments completed

Task: 1 set of 7-piece tangram puzzles, work only with the dominant hand
Condition 1) Cooperation task, Condition 2) Single task, Performance) Number of puzzles completed in 120 seconds

Control of non-specific neural synchrony:
Attention-enhanced neural synchrony) Unified task environment between the two conditions, Confirmation of emotional synchrony
Neural entrainment) Different noise exposure for each participant pair, no conversation
Motor-induced neural synchrony) Mutual gazing time and gazing rate were calculated, and Confirmation of synchrony of the right elbow and right hand joints

IBS)Functional near-infrared spectroscopy is used to measure oxygenated hemoglobin concentrations during bilateral prefrontal and right parietotemporal junction tasks, followed by IBS analysis.
