Inter-brain network underlying turn-based cooperation and competition: A hyperscanning study using near-infrared spectroscopy

Abstract The present study examined neural substrates underlying turn-based cooperation and competition in a real two-person situation. We simultaneously measured pairs of participants’ activations in their bilateral frontal, temporal, and parietal regions using a 96-channel near-infrared spectrosco...
