“…Notably, this study supports recent findings showing activation of frontal brain areas (i.e. involved in cognitive control and self-processing) in leaders, measured using fMRI (Fairhurst et al, 2013).…”

“…However, the two interactive partners do not take an entirely symmetrical position, as the 'follower' is the more adaptive one in all but one pair (Fairhurst et al, 2013), indicating spontaneous emergence of a leader-follower dynamic. This seems contradictory to the findings from our previous study.…”

“…A recent fMRI study investigated neural mechanisms underlying leadership, as participants engaged in a tapping paradigm with an adaptive stimulus (Fairhurst et al, 2013). The study revealed that leading and perceiving leadership correlated with rightfrontal brain activity, areas engaged in self-initiated action.…”

“…The neural correlates of dynamic cooperativity in adaptive timing have been investigated in fMRI studies in which musicians are required to synchronize with virtual partners that implement differing degrees of temporal error correction [25,26]. In one study [25], virtual partners were programmed to implement different amounts of phase correction, and hence to exhibit different degrees of cooperativity.…”

Human interaction often requires simultaneous precision and flexibility in the coordination of rhythmic behaviour between individuals engaged in joint activity, for example, playing a musical duet or dancing with a partner. This review article addresses the psychological processes and brain mechanisms that enable such rhythmic interpersonal coordination. First, an overview is given of research on the cognitive-motor processes that enable individuals to represent joint action goals and to anticipate, attend and adapt to other's actions in real time. Second, the neurophysiological mechanisms that underpin rhythmic interpersonal coordination are sought in studies of sensorimotor and cognitive processes that play a role in the representation and integration of self- and other-related actions within and between individuals' brains. Finally, relationships between social–psychological factors and rhythmic interpersonal coordination are considered from two perspectives, one concerning how social-cognitive tendencies (e.g. empathy) affect coordination, and the other concerning how coordination affects interpersonal affiliation, trust and prosocial behaviour. Our review highlights musical ensemble performance as an ecologically valid yet readily controlled domain for investigating rhythm in joint action.

“…While this might prove difficult to achieve, recent research shows that the leader-follower relationship can be simulated in an fMRI study by using virtual partners as counterparts (Fairhurst et al, 2014). Johnson and colleagues (2013) in a team-neurodynamics study found evidence for neurophysiological indicators among leaders and followers in an ethical decision-making scenario.…”

Business Ethics: The Promise of Neuroscience

Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience research portend well for furthering understanding of many of the fundamental questions in the field of business ethics, both normative and empirical. This article provides an overview of neuroscience methodology and brain structures, and explores the areas in which neuroscience research has contributed findings of value to business ethics, as well as suggesting areas for future research. Neuroscience research is especially capable of providing insight into individual reactions to ethical issues, while also raising challenging normative questions about the nature of moral responsibility, autonomy, intent, and free will. This article also provides a brief summary of the papers included in this special issue, attesting to the richness of scholarly inquiry linking neuroscience and business ethics. We conclude that neuroscience offers considerable promise to the field of business ethics, but we caution against overpromise.
