Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hyperscanning measures concurrent brain activity in interacting individuals.
  • Inter-brain synchrony (IBS) quantifies the alignment of neural or hemodynamic signals during social interaction.
  • Understanding social cognition requires robust methodologies for analyzing brain activity during interaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a standardized protocol for conducting fNIRS hyperscanning experiments in naturalistic collaborative learning environments.
  • To detail a pipeline for analyzing inter-brain synchrony (IBS) using oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) signals.
  • To promote open-science principles and enhance research reproducibility in second-person neuroscience.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an experimental design for fNIRS hyperscanning in collaborative learning dyads.
  • Description of the NIRS data recording process within a naturalistic setting.
  • Explanation of data analysis methods for quantifying IBS of Oxy-Hb signals.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive protocol for fNIRS hyperscanning in collaborative learning was established.
  • A clear pipeline for analyzing Oxy-Hb based IBS was detailed.
  • The study emphasizes the importance of standardization for reproducible research.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing a standardized fNIRS hyperscanning pipeline is crucial for advancing second-person neuroscience.
  • This protocol facilitates the study of neurobiological underpinnings of social interaction, particularly in learning contexts.
  • Adherence to open-science practices through standardized protocols enhances the reliability and reproducibility of hyperscanning research.
