“…As in the opening examples (Section 1), many of our daily activities feature interactions with individuals across generations. Hyperscanning studies commonly investigate social interaction in adult-adult, parent-child, and student-teacher dyads (for reviews see: Wang et al, 2018;Nguyen et al, 2020;De Felice et al, 2023). While the latter two are most strongly represented (Dikker et al, 2022), and involve intergenerational dyads, these are typically limited to young people (i.e., infants, children) paired with adults who have yet to reach middle age.…”

While still relatively rare, longitudinal hyperscanning studies are exceptionally valuable for documenting changes in inter-brain synchrony, which may in turn underpin how behaviors develop and evolve in social settings. The generalizability and ecological validity of this experimental approach hinges on the selected imaging technique being mobile–a requirement met by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). fNIRS has most frequently been used to examine the development of inter-brain synchrony and behavior in child-parent dyads. In this position paper, we contend that dedicating attention to longitudinal and intergenerational hyperscanning stands to benefit the fields of social and cognitive neuroscience more broadly. We argue that this approach is particularly relevant for understanding the neural mechanisms underpinning intergenerational social dynamics, and potentially for benchmarking progress in psychological and social interventions, many of which are situated in intergenerational contexts. In line with our position, we highlight areas of intergenerational research that stand to be enhanced by longitudinal hyperscanning with mobile devices, describe challenges that may arise from measuring across generations in the real world, and offer potential solutions.
