Does inter-brain synchrony drive social connection, or is it just an echo of shared sensory input? Can a human brain sync with an AI agent? Merle Fairhurst and @nicohinrichs.bsky.social are co-editing the NeuroImage Special Issue: "Between Brains, Across Agents: Toward Multi-Agent Neuroscience."

Excited to present my work with Noah Guzmán and @mweber.bsky.social, "On a Geometry of Interbrain Networks" this Friday 12th, 11AM CEST for a joint Neurogeometry and @cbs-coconut.bsky.social meeting in the Wundt Room at @mpicbs.bsky.social and also on Zoom. More info: www.cbs.mpg.de/en/cbs-coconut

Simulations of time-varying brain networks modeled as weighted small-world networks with varying rewiring probability. A–D: Four examples with N = 100, mean degree K = 5, and different p, generated using Muldoon et al. (2016). E: Entropy of the FRC distribution as p evolves from 0 to 1 for N = 1000, K = 50 (note phase transition around p= 10−2). F: Corresponding quantiles of the FRC distribution. Solid curves show the median over 200 replications; shaded areas mark 0.05 and 0.95 quantiles.

Inter-brain synchrony is a practical kind, not a mechanism. I push M. Chirimuuta’s haptic realism to the case of hyperscanning and call for abstraction vigilance. Nice overlap with @okaydaniellle.bsky.social, too: reject the literal reading, not the (computational) model. doi.org/10.33735/phi...
