Cooperation is essential in social life, involving collaborative efforts for mutual benefits. Individual differences in the cooperativeness trait are pivotal in these interactions. A single-group pretest–posttest design was used in this study t...
In embodied theories on language, it is widely accepted that experience in acting generates an expectation of this action when hearing the word for it. However, how this expectation emerges during language acquisition is still not well understood. As...
Researchers have long recognized that friends tend to exhibit behaviors that are more similar to each other than to those of non-friends. In recent years, the concept of neural similarity or neural synchrony among friends has garnered significant att...
Understanding how climatic variability shapes the reproductive behavior of perennial crops is essential for improving their adaptation to tropical mountain environments. This study examined the influence of altitudinal and thermal gradients on flower...
The use of neuroimaging to predict individual and population-wide behaviors, also known as neuroforecasting, was long applied to estimate movie popularity. Only recently, EEG-based neural synchronization, which is indicative of engagement, was found...

This study explored the biological autonomy and control of function in circumstances that assessed the presumed relationship of an organism with an environmental cycle. An understanding of this behavior appeals to the organism–environment syste...
This study examined parent–child physiological synchrony within the context of interactions and attachment-related differences. Specifically, this study investigated physiological synchrony, as indexed by the association between parent and chil...
Background: Inter-brain synchrony (IBS)—the temporal alignment of neural activity between individuals during social interactions—has emerged as a key construct in social neuroscience, reflecting shared attention, emotional attunement, and...
Current research on multimodal AR-HUD navigation systems primarily focuses on the presentation forms of auditory and visual information, yet the effects of synchrony between auditory and visual prompts as well as prompt timing on driving behavior and...
Lippia lasiocalycina Cham. is a wild medicinal species native to Brazil, belonging to the Lamiaceae family, with bioactive potential in its essential oils. However, it remains poorly studied, especially in the fields of conservation and domestication...
Chemical synaptic coupling is crucial in the nervous system. This paper establishes a chemical synaptic Chay neuronal coupling system using the Heaviside function and analyzes the equilibrium point’s type and stability based on the Jacobian mat...
Beat-level synchrony among cardiomyocyte clusters is a critical indicator of cardiac electromechanical function. Traditional invasive approaches have substantial limitations, and conventional computer vision methods are poorly suited for resolving de...
Background: Auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) are widely used for objective hearing threshold estimation in both adults and children. Click and CE-Chirp stimuli differ substantially in cochlear activation and neural synchrony, yet their relative pe...
