Effective teamwork among military pilots is key to successful mission completion. The underlying neural mechanism of teamwork is thought to be inter-brain synchronization (IBS). IBS could also be explained as an incidental phenomenon of cooperative behavior, but the causality between IBS and cooperative behavior could be clarified by directly producing IBS through extra external stimuli applied to functional brain regions. As a non-invasive technology for altering brain function, transcranial electrical stimulation might have the potential to explore whether top-down enhancement of the synchronization of multiple brains can change cooperative behavioral performance among members of a team. This review focuses on the characteristic features of teamwork among military pilots and variations in neuroimaging obtained by hyper-scanning. Furthermore, we discuss the possibility that transcranial electrical stimulation could be used to improve teamwork among military pilots, try to provide a feasible design for doing so, and emphasize crucial aspects to be addressed by future research.
军事飞行员之间有效的团队合作是成功完成任务的关键。团队合作的潜在神经机制被认为是脑间同步（IBS）。IBS也可以被解释为合作行为的一种偶然现象，但通过对功能性脑区施加额外的外部刺激直接产生IBS，可以阐明IBS与合作行为之间的因果关系。作为一种改变脑功能的非侵入性技术，经颅电刺激可能有潜力探索自上而下增强多个大脑的同步是否能改变团队成员之间的合作行为表现。这篇综述重点关注军事飞行员团队合作的特征以及通过超扫描获得的神经影像学变化。此外，我们讨论经颅电刺激可用于改善军事飞行员团队合作的可能性，尝试为此提供一个可行的设计，并强调未来研究需要解决的关键问题。
