Neural and Behavioral Correlates of Live Face-to-Face Interactions
Yale University
Summary
This study aims to understand the neural mechanisms that underlie synchronization of two brains during social interactions.
Description
After being informed about the study and potential risks, all participants giving written informed consent will undergo a structural MRI image for anatomical localization of the targeted stimulation site. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two TMS target locations, and will be identified for the TMS experiments. Two to three days prior to the TMS experiment, participants will undergo a before TMS/fNIRS experiment. On the day of the TMS experiment participants will undergo a functional dyadic neuroimaging session after TMS stimulation. For the neuromodulation experiments, tDCS, se…
