Adversity is Linked with Decreased Parent-Child Behavioral and Neural Synchrony
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2021 Parent-child synchrony—parent-child interaction patterns characterized by contingent social responding, mutual responsivity, and co-regulation—has been robustly associated with adaptive child outcomes.

Mother–Infant Dyadic Neural Synchrony Measured Using EEG Hyperscanning and Validated Using Behavioral Measures [PDF]
ChildrenBackground/objective: Greater parent–infant synchrony is associated with improved child outcomes. Behavioral measures of synchrony are still developing in young infants; thus, researchers need tools to quantify synchrony between parents and their young ...

Greater similarity of conscientiousness scores in dyads is associated with greater interpersonal neural synchrony while completing a goal-oriented task: a brief report [PDF]
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceInterpersonal neural synchrony provides a neural index of how individuals align cognitively and socially during interaction. While previous work has shown that personality traits shape interpersonal behavior, and that trait similarity can enhance dyadic ...

Relations between family cohesion and adolescent-parent’s neural synchrony in response to emotional stimulations [PDF]
Behavioral and Brain Functions, 2022 Background The interaction between parent and adolescent is more challenging than in other age periods. Family cohesion seriously impacts parent-adolescent emotional interactions. However, the underlying neural mechanism has not been fully examined. This

Interpersonal neural synchrony when predicting others’ actions during a game of rock-paper-scissors [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 As members of a social species, we spend most of our time interacting with others. In interactions, we tend to mutually align our behavior and brain responses to communicate more effectively. In a semi-computerized version of the Rock-Paper-Scissors game,
