“…As such, wavelets have been proposed for revealing coupled neural processes between interacting dyads where shared social signals are transient and spontaneous. In particular, cross-brain neural synchrony measured with wavelet coherence analysis has been applied to investigate interactive behaviors, such as cooperative and competitive gameplay, 2-4 synchronized finger tapping, 5 unstructured conversation, 6 dyadic singing and humming, 7 button-pressing, 8 creative problem solving, 9 face-to-face interaction, 10 structured talking and listening, 11 playing poker against a human or computer opponent, 12 judging intentions and fairness in economic exchanges, 13 and following and leading. 14,15 Although the wavelet coherence computations have been applied previously in these and other applications, the computational factors that affect the power of the analysis have not been explored for fNIRS signals.…”
