Using movies and narratives as naturalistic stimuli in human neuroimaging studies has
yielded significant advances in understanding of cognitive and emotional functions. The …

Our capacity to jointly represent information about the world underpins our social
experience. By leveraging one individual's brain activity to model another's, we can measure …

Social interactions between parents and children are closely linked with children's
development, and interbrain synchrony has been shown to be a neural marker of social …

When we feel connected or engaged during social behavior, are our brains in fact “in sync”
in a formal, quantifiable sense? Most studies addressing this question use highly controlled …

Neural, physiological, and behavioral signals synchronize between human subjects in a
variety of settings. Multiple hypotheses have been proposed to explain this interpersonal …

Heart rate has natural fluctuations that are typically ascribed to autonomic function. Recent
evidence suggests that conscious processing can affect the timing of the heartbeat. We …

Online educational materials are largely disseminated through videos, and yet there is little
understanding of how these videos engage students and fuel academic success. We …

Experienced teachers pay close attention to their students, adjusting their teaching when
students seem lost. This dynamic interaction is missing in online education. We …

The brain activity of multiple subjects has been shown to synchronize during salient
moments of natural stimuli, suggesting that correlation of neural responses indexes a brain …

Much of human learning happens through interaction with other people, but little is known
about how this process is reflected in the brains of students and teachers. Here, we …
