Multiple-Brain Connectivity During Third Party Punishment: an EEG Hyperscanning Study

Abstract Compassion is a particular form of empathic reaction to harm that befalls others and is accompanied by a desire to alleviate their suffering. This altruistic behavior is often manifested through altruistic punishment, wherein individuals penalize a deprecated human’s actions, even if they a...
