Join us for an exciting discussion with Valtteri Wikström, who delves into the intriguing world of inter-brain synchronization during online gameplay. By using EEG hyperscanning, Wikström and his team investigated cooperative performance during real-time online two-player gameplay, where participants were physically isolated and communicated solely through on-screen actions.

The results of the study showed a correlation between momentary performance and gamma synchronization, and average performance with alpha synchronization. Interestingly, synchronization across frequency bands decreased during a playing session, but it was elevated in the second of two sessions. This provides an interesting look into how online real-time joint coordination occurs without any physical co-presence or video and audio connection and how changes in inter-brai ...
