Portable electroencephalography (EEG) allows neural activity to be recorded from whole classrooms, but correlated activity across students can arise from shared instructions, parallel changes in arousal or common artefact rather than interpersonal coupling, and dyads within one class are not independent observations. In this exploratory analysis, single-channel frontal EEG was recorded during...
Social interaction is a vital source of human development, yet neuroscientific research delineating its neural correlates in large groups is scarce. Music as a rhythmic signal, and meditation, have been shown to induce group synchronization and pro-social behavior. However, their impact on adolescents may vary, and the related brain functions remain underexplored. This study investigates the...
