“…To tackle the problem that occurs when two scanners are required to complete a study, King-Casas (2005) conducted a study using scanners in Texas and California linked via the Internet. Afterward, other studies were performed in facilities that possessed two scanners; however, until now, only a few studies have tried to investigate social interaction with the fMRI hyperscanning method (Tomlin, 2006;Saito et al, 2010;Schippers et al, 2010;Tanabe et al, 2012;Tomlin et al, 2013;Spiegelhalder et al, 2014;Koike et al, 2016Koike et al, , 2019Abe et al, 2019). One reason for that might be difficulty in creating experimental paradigms that involve interaction between participants without movement and communication.…”

“…It is not the BOLD signal itself that is used for correlation analysis, but regression model coefficients are representing activations in different tasks. These types of analyses were applied in research investigating mutual gaze, shared attention, and cooperation in the joint force production task (Saito et al, 2010;Koike et al, 2016Koike et al, , 2019Abe et al, 2019) ( Figure 2B). Correlations found in these studies were interpreted as neural synchronization between brains.…”

Social interactions are a crucial part of human life. Understanding the neural underpinnings of social interactions is a challenging task that the hyperscanning method has been trying to tackle over the last two decades. Here, we review the existing literature and evaluate the current state of the hyperscanning method. We review the type of methods (fMRI, M/EEG, and fNIRS) that are used to measure brain activity from more than one participant simultaneously and weigh their pros and cons for hyperscanning. Further, we discuss different types of analyses that are used to estimate brain networks and synchronization. Lastly, we present results of hyperscanning studies in the context of different cognitive functions and their relations to social interactions. All in all, we aim to comprehensively present methods, analyses, and results from the last 20 years of hyperscanning research.

“…Touch is the most effective intervention for activating positive biological markers of connection . However, brief bouts of undivided, direct, and reciprocal eye contact, even done remotely, can be as effective at mobilizing biological connection responses in the brain. This research has important implications not only for how we raise children but how we support and provide care to older adults.…”

BACKGROUND “Action at a distance” may be the new norm for clinical researchers in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic that may require social distancing for the next 18 months. We must minimize face‐to‐face contact with vulnerable populations. But we must also persist, adapt, and help our older patients and study participants during the pandemic. METHODS Clinical researchers have an obligation to help, and we can. Recommendations for clinical researchers working with older adults during the COVID‐19 pandemic are discussed. RESULTS Implement technology now: Minimize face‐to‐face contact with participants by utilizing digital tools, such as shifting to electronic informed consent and digital HIPAA‐compliant tools such as e‐mailed surveys or telehealth assessments. Assess the psychological and social impact of COVID‐19: How are participants coping? What health or social behaviors have changed? How are they keeping up with current events? What are they doing to stay connected to their families, friends, and communities? Are their healthcare needs being met? Current studies should be adapted immediately to these ends. Mobilize research platforms for patient needs: Leverage our relationships with participants and rapidly deploy novel clinical engagement techniques such as digital tools to intervene remotely and reduce the negative effects of social isolation on our participants. Equip research staff with tangible resources, and provide timely population‐specific health information to support patients and healthcare providers. CONCLUSIONS We have an opportunity to make an impact on our older adult patients now as this pandemic continues to unfold. Above all, clinical researchers need to continue working, to help as many people as possible through the crisis. J Am Geriatr Soc 68:922–925, 2020

“…The results revealed that the perception of power changes depending on the emotional response of one's partner. A previous fMRI study has measured the brain activity of two individuals during face-to-face interactions and observed interindividual synchronized activity in the lateral occipitotemporal cortex (Koike et al, 2019).…”
