Social interactions are a crucial part of human life. Understanding the neural underpinnings of social interactions is a challenging task that the hyperscanning method has been trying to tackle over the last two decades. Here, we review the existing literature and evaluate the current state of the hyperscanning method. We review the type of methods (fMRI, M/EEG, and fNIRS) that are used to measure brain activity from more than one participant simultaneously and weigh their pros and cons for hyperscanning. Further, we discuss different types of analyses that are used to estimate brain networks and synchronization. Lastly, we present results of hyperscanning studies in the context of different cognitive functions and their relations to social interactions. All in all, we aim to comprehensively present methods, analyses, and results from the last 20 years of hyperscanning research.
社交互动是人类生活的关键部分。理解社交互动的神经基础是一项具有挑战性的任务，超扫描方法在过去二十年里一直在努力解决这一问题。在此，我们回顾现有文献并评估超扫描方法的当前状态。我们回顾了用于同时测量多个参与者大脑活动的方法类型（功能磁共振成像、脑磁图/脑电图和功能近红外光谱），并权衡它们在超扫描中的优缺点。此外，我们讨论了用于估计大脑网络和同步性的不同分析类型。最后，我们展示了在不同认知功能背景下超扫描研究的结果及其与社交互动的关系。总而言之，我们旨在全面呈现过去二十年超扫描研究的方法、分析和结果。
