Abstract

Interpersonal EEG synchrony derived from the hyperscanning technique has the potential to reveal brain mechanisms beyond the border of traditional analysis within an individual subject. However, the inter-brain connectivity has not been fully investigated using wearable consumer-grade EEG devices which can enable a variety of application in a real-world scenario. In this study, we investigate interpersonal synchrony by capturing EEG signals using wearable EEG devices, from multiple participants (N = 6, 7, 15) who simultaneously listened to a novel being read to them. The results show that similar power-spectral patterns from neural responses evoked by perceiving the same auditory stimuli exhibit the synchrony, which is likely to have a transient characteristic rather than being stationary.
