Schematic of the experimental paradigm of social coordination dynamics in which two participants simultaneously perceive and produce behavior in view of each other. More specifically, in our canonical experiment, subjects move their fingers in continuous fashion while at the same time observing their partner doing the same. The paradigm’s simultaneity of dyadic perception and action – bidirectional coupling – is geared toward observing self-organizing processes.

Analysis methods used in hyperscanning to investigate between brain relationships. (A) From Yun et al. (2012). Phase synchrony was used as a coupling measure to investigate between-brain connections in implicit coordination task. Topography of the phase synchrony (PLV) between different regions of interest of two participants are presented for theta (4–7.5 Hz) and beta (12–30 Hz) oscillations. (B) From Koike et al. (2016). Between-brain synchronization estimated with correlation. (C) From Müller et al. (2013). Brain topography maps illustrating significant connection within and between the brains. Example of graph theory measures applied to analyze synchronization during musical improvisation on the guitar. All parts reproduced/adapted under CC licenses.

Illustration of body-world coupling, sensorimotor mechanisms, and the ontogeny of social cognition. Circles represent mechanisms' components internal to the organism (Ci), and crossed circles depict world components (Cw). Arrows represent causal effects between components. (A) In non-sensorimotor body-world couplings, an organism's motor activities capture world's components and makes them interact with body components. (B) In sensorimotor body-world couplings, through active motor sampling activities (e.g., sniffing, touching, fixating) the organism dynamically brings world components onto sensory surfaces. During ontogeny, the occurrence (or not) of specific sensorimotor activities produces plastic changes in body components, represented here as weighted arrows and circles. (C) Social cognition as a process grounded in sensorimotor coupling. World components relevant to sensorimotor coupling could well be stimuli produced by another organism, such as physical stimuli resulting from communication processes, and different agents coupled with shared world components can lead to social cognitive phenomena. This kind of sensorimotor coupling might entail different plastic processes within each organism (represented as different weighted arrows inside each agent). S, sensory; Mm, motor actions for movement; Ms, motor actions for sampling.
