In their recent article “Bodily synchronization underlying joke telling,” Schmidt et al.(2014)
argue that two-person neuroscience is an insufficient approach to explain interpersonal …

Advances in video and time series analysis have greatly enhanced our ability to study the
bodily synchronization that occurs in natural interactions. Past research has demonstrated …

Every joint collaborative physical activity performed by a group of people, eg, carrying a
table, typically leads to the emergence of spatiotemporal coordination of individual motor …

Spontaneous interpersonal synchronization of rhythmic behavior such as gait or hand
clapping is a ubiquitous phenomenon in human interactions, and is potentially important for …

The way people interact can be examined by looking at the way they move relative to each
other. Seeking the principles behind those interactions have consequences potentially …

Coordination with others is such a fundamental part of human activity that it can happen
unintentionally. This unintentional coordination can manifest as synchronization and is …

Across a broad spectrum of interactions, humans exhibit a prominent tendency to
synchronize their movements with one another. Traditionally, this phenomenon has been …

Synchronization of neural activity across brains–Interpersonal Neural Synchrony (INS)–is
emerging as a powerful marker of social interaction that predicts success of multi-person …

Previous research has found that spontaneous synchronization of bodily movements
emerges when people interact. This dynamic interactional synchrony occurs in all kinds of …

This Research Topic was launched with the aim of highlighting and exploring the
