The Duorhythm project seeks to explore the relationship between inter-brain coupling and interpersonal coordination as a component of co-regulation. Co-regulation refers to the mutual, dynamic, and continuous adjustment of attributes and actions between interacting partners. To investigate this, we employ 64-channel electroencephalography (EEG) to monitor scalp brain activity during a controlled, video-game-like task, designed to maintain sustainable levels of engagement while allowing a certain degree of control over the task. One hypothesis we are testing is that higher levels of co-regulation result in lower inter-brain coupling. The project is currently in the data collection phase.
