EEG Coordination Dynamics: Neuromarkers of Social Coordination

  • Chapter
Coordination: Neural, Behavioral and Social Dynamics

Part of the book series: Understanding Complex Systems ((UCS))

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to present a framework of EEG coordination dynamics based on rhythmical entrainment of brain activity. The interest of continuous braināˆ¼behavior1 analysis is underlined and its principles are illustrated with results from a dual-EEG experiment of spontaneous social coordination.

The tilde symbol (āˆ¼) was introduced by Kelso and EngstrĆøm to indicate complementary pairs, i.e., ā€œmodes of a dynamical system that is capable of moving between boundaries even as it includes themā€ [42, p. 9].
