When individuals interact with others, perceived information is transmitted among their brains. The EEG-based hyperscanning technique, which provides an approach to explore dynamic brain activities between two or more interactive individuals and their underlying neural mechanisms, has been applied to study different aspects of social interactions since 2010. Recently there has been an increase in research on EEG-based hyperscanning of social interactions. This paper summarizes the application of EEG-based hyperscanning on the dynamic brain activities during social interactions according to the experimental designs and contents, discusses the possibility of applying inter-brain synchrony to social communication systems and analyzes the contributions and the limitations of these investigations. Furthermore, this paper sheds light on some new challenges to future EEG-based hyperscanning studies and the emerging field of EEG-based hyperscanning for pursuing the broader research field of social interactions.
当个体与他人互动时，感知到的信息会在他们的大脑之间传递。基于脑电图的超扫描技术为探索两个或更多互动个体之间的动态大脑活动及其潜在神经机制提供了一种方法，自2010年以来已被应用于研究社会互动的不同方面。最近，基于脑电图的社会互动超扫描研究有所增加。本文根据实验设计和内容总结了基于脑电图的超扫描在社会互动过程中动态大脑活动方面的应用，讨论了将脑间同步应用于社会通信系统的可能性，并分析了这些研究的贡献和局限性。此外，本文还揭示了未来基于脑电图的超扫描研究面临的一些新挑战，以及基于脑电图的超扫描这一新兴领域在追求更广泛的社会互动研究领域方面的情况。
