However, the consequences that out-of-phase cardiorespiratory coupling has on the self, and whether it is related to self-regulation, remain unexplored.

Interpersonal synchrony feels good but impedes self-regulation of affect - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Interpersonal synchrony feels good but impedes self-regulation of affect

The findings may be related to previous research showing that interpersonal synchrony results in weakened self-regulation of affect:

This paper took countless iterations of analysis, presentations, etc., before I dared to write it up (and am still skeptical). Hoping that this will open new conversations regarding effects of interpersonal synchronization on the self.

We believe our new hyperscanning-EEG method is well suited for identifying asymmetric neural mechanisms during real-time social interaction. The methodology has an added benefit of being expandable to multi-brain microstates for investigating group interactions.

While we acknowledge that two-brain microstates were unable to pick up on interaction-related differences, possibly due to the low-level task, or IBS - probably because microstates focus on global neuronal brain states, overlooking smaller spatially focal synchronised processes....

Source localisation indicated that the difference in microstate dynamics between symmetric and asymmetric conditions was likely modulated by a difference in default mode network related activity between the two participants when they took on different interactive roles.

Pseudo-pairs also showed a significant difference in two-brain microstate dynamics for the asymmetric tasks, and there was no difference in dynamics between the real pairs and the pseudo-pairs, suggesting that the changes were not specific to the interaction, but rather the asymmetric tasks.

In order to discern whether the changes in two-brain microstate dynamics were specific to the interaction itself, as opposed to the asymmetric behavioural task, we computed the microstate features for pseudo-pairs (i.e. pairs that did not interact with each other).

Interestingly, some of the two-brain microstates were similar to the conventionally determined single-brain resting state microstates, e.g. with dA1, dB1, dC1 and dD1 resembling our single-brain microstates A, B, C and E; and dE2, dF2, dG2, and dH2 also resembling A, B, C, and E, respectively.

Our key finding: We show that traditional single-brain microstates don’t distinguish interaction conditions—but two-brain microstates do! Asymmetry in brain states emerges in asymmetric social roles (i.e., observer-actor, leader-follower).

The participants produced movements across a number of interactive (when they could see each other) and non-interactive conditions. They also engaged in two conditions where they had asymmetric tasks (actor/observer) and roles (leader/follower). Data from: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....
