“…For example, Bevilacqua et al (2019) revealed that students who reported greater social closeness to their teacher showed higher brain-to-brain synchrony with the teacher, and this predicted cognitive learning outcomes. Similar work (e.g., Davidesco & Milne, 2019) has found that student-to-teacher brain synchrony predicted learning in a sequential manner, predominantly in the alpha band. Another study (Dikker et al, 2019) found that pairs of individuals' trait empathy, social closeness, engagement, and social behaviour (e.g., joint action and eye contact) predicted the extent to which their brain activity became synchronized, most prominently in the low alpha (~ 7-10 Hz) and beta frequencies (~ 20-22 Hz).…”
