Centro de Investigación en Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos (UAEM), Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico.
It is assumed that social interaction like cooperation or competition takes place via synchronized interbrain activity, measurable via hyperscanning experiments. However, interbrain synchronization might also be due to common external stimuli without any genuine inter-personal interaction. In addition, a consistent experimental paradigm is required to distinguish between different modalities such as cooperation or competition.
