Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Two-person neuroscience investigates social cognition through simultaneous brain activity recording (hyperscanning).
  • Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-hyperscanning offers naturalistic social interaction studies but faces challenges with sensor-level noise.
  • Existing methods analyzing fNIRS hyperscanning data may lack sensitivity and specificity due to confounding noise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel source-level analysis framework using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) for fNIRS two-person neuroscience.
  • To evaluate the performance of different ICA algorithms in extracting interaction-related brain sources.
  • To demonstrate improved sensitivity and specificity in hyperlink analysis compared to traditional sensor-level methods.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a source-level analysis framework based on Independent Component Analysis (ICA).
  • Comparison of five ICA algorithms using simulated datasets to assess their ability to extract interaction sources.
  • Application of the proposed framework to both simulated and real fNIRS two-person experimental data.

Main Results:

  • The proposed ICA-based source-level analysis framework effectively extracts sources of social interaction.
  • Performance evaluation showed varying capabilities among different ICA algorithms in simulated datasets.
  • The source-level analysis significantly increased the sensitivity and specificity of interbrain connectivity (hyperlink) analysis in both simulated and real experiments.

Conclusions:

  • Source-level analysis using ICA offers a more accurate approach for fNIRS hyperscanning studies in two-person neuroscience.
  • This method mitigates the impact of confounding noise present in sensor-level data.
  • The findings pave the way for more reliable investigations of neural mechanisms underlying social interactions.
