| Abstract: | Recent studies have indicated that interpersonal neural synchrony (INS) in dyads may be increased through neurofeedback training (NFT), and that there might be a correlation between INS and interpersonal coordination. The current study aims to investigate these recent findings further by examining whether three sessions of INS-NFT can increase the INS and interpersonal coordination between two team members. Two research questions are investigated, namely: RQ1. Is frontal theta and delta INS-CCorr higher during a third session of INS-NFT than during the first session?, and RQ2. Is team coordination higher after three sessions of theta and delta frequency INS-NFT?. To explore these research questions, four teams of two participants have trained INS-NFT for three sessions of twenty-four minutes, receiving either actual or random feedback. Before and after INS-NFT, all teams completed a cooperative interpersonal coordination task during which interpersonal coordination was measured. The two research questions have been investigated through nine statistical analyses, which did not show a clear trend towards INS or interpersonal coordination being trainable through INS-NFT. Future research should examine these findings further. |
