| summary | People who have strong social connections live longer healthier lives, and there is increasing evidence linking loneliness to poor outcomes. Neuroscientific approaches to understanding social connection (and lack of connection) are just getting started. This talk will examine the idea that synchrony between people is a key factor that creates and supports social connections. I will explore the neural mechanisms of synchrony, in terms of both theory and data, to show how mutual prediction of actions can lead to coordination at the neural level that reflects the dynamics of an interaction. I will also share data from real-world studies of large-group social interactions demonstrating how we can take research outside the lab context. |
