Now published (Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews): "Relational neuroscience: Insights from hyperscanning research" We introduce #RelationalNeuroscience as a framework for research on inter-brain dynamics. We state that #hyperscanning is the prime methodology informing Relational Neuroscience.

This month’s read rec is “Hyperscanning shows friends explore and strangers converge in conversation,” @sebospeer.bsky.social et al. Friends tended to explore more topics and think more differently over time while strangers became more similar in thoughts and language. Thanks, Laetitia, for the rec!
