“…Linear regression analysis demonstrated that neural coupling between the rFPC and rAG positively predicted the originality of the lying task. The rFPC is related to ToM ( Lewis et al, 2011 ; Reniers et al, 2014 ), whereas rAG is associated with understanding others’ states ( Schurz et al, 2017 ; Filmer et al, 2019 ; Lu et al, 2021 ). These mental processes play a pivotal role in lying or deception ( Walczyk and Cockrell, 2022 ).…”

Creativity can be driven by negative intentions, and this is called malevolent creativity (MC). It is a type of creativity that serves antisocial purposes and deliberately leads to harmful or immoral results. A possible classification indicates that there are three kinds of MC in daily life: hurting people, lying, and playing tricks. This study aimed to explore similar and distinct neural substrates underlying these different kinds of MC idea generation. The participants were asked to perform different MC tasks, and their neural responses were recorded using a functional near-infrared spectroscopy device. The findings revealed that most regions within the prefrontal and temporal lobes [e.g., the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (rDLPFC), and right angular gyrus] were involved in the three MC tasks. However, the right frontopolar cortex (rFPC) was more activated and less coupled with the rDLPFC and right precuneus during the lying task than during the other tasks. Thus, rFPC may play an important role in constructing novel lies. In the lying task, individuals were more selfish and less compassionate. In the playing tricks and hurting people tasks, there was less neural coupling between the rDLPFC and the left inferior frontal gyrus/right inferior parietal lobule than that in the lying task. This may imply that selfish motivation is released when individuals try to ignore victims’ distress or generate aggressive tricks in hurting people or playing tricks tasks. These findings indicate that the three kinds of MC idea generation involve common cortical regions related to creative idea generation and moral judgment, whereas differences in cortical responses exist because of their unique features.

“…The lowest probe was placed along the Fp1-Fp2 line, and the middle optode was located at the frontal pole midline point (Fpz). Another two 2 × 3 probe patches (three emitters and three detectors, resulting in 7 measurement channels) were placed on the rTPJ for the two participants in a dyad, with the referenced optode placed on P6 in the International 10-20 system [28,41,42]. Therefore, there were 19 measurement channels (CHs), and all emitters and detectors were 3 cm apart (Figure 1d).…”

Previous studies on the brain–brain interaction of deception have shown different patterns of interpersonal brain synchronization (IBS) between different genders. However, the brain–brain mechanisms in the cross-sex composition need to be better understood. Furthermore, there needs to be more discussion about how relationships (e.g., romantic couples vs. strangers) affect the brain–brain mechanism under interactive deception. To elaborate on these issues, we used the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-based hyperscanning approach to simultaneously measure interpersonal brain synchronization (IBS) in romantic couples (heterosexual) and cross-sex stranger dyads during the sender–receiver game. The behavioral results found that the deception rate of males was lower than that of females, and romantic couples were deceived less than strangers. Significantly increased IBS was observed in the frontopolar cortex (FPC) and right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ) of the romantic couple group. Moreover, the IBS is negatively correlated with the deception rate. No significantly increased IBS was observed in cross-sex stranger dyads. The result corroborated the lower deception of males and romantic couples in cross-sex interactions. Furthermore, IBS in the PFC and rTPJ was the underlying dual-brain neural basis for supporting honesty in romantic couples.

“…Thereafter, we converted the averaged coherence values to Fisher z-statistics. Following recent approaches in the field 81,82 , we derived specific frequency bands of interest that were specifically associated with condition (i.e., in-person vs. virtual) and/or task, instead of averaging across an entire predefined frequency band. For each ROI pair and each task separately, we ran a series of independent t-tests between the conditions across all frequency increments within the range 0.01 -0.2 Hz (i.e., 53 frequencies).…”

A growing number of social interactions are taking place virtually on video conferencing platforms. Here, we explore potential effects of virtual interactions on observed behavior, subjective experience, and neural "single-brain" and "inter-brain" activity via functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neuroimaging. We scanned a total of 72 participants (36 dyads) who engaged with their partner in three naturalistic tasks (i.e., problem-solving, creative-innovation, socio-emotional task), in either an in-person or virtual (Zoom) condition. We also coded cooperative behavior from audio recordings. We found increased and sustained prefrontal activation in the virtual condition, potentially providing a neural basis of "Zoom fatigue". We also observed reduced behavioral cooperation (i.e., conversational turn-taking), and altered patterns of averaged and dynamic inter-brain coherence, in virtual interactions. Inter-brain coherence patterns that were characteristic of the virtual condition were associated with reduced behavioral cooperation. These insights can inform the design and engineering of the next generation of video conferencing technology.
