Metaverse integrates people into the virtual world, and challenges depend on advances in human, technological, and procedural dimensions. Until now, solutions to these challenges have not involved extensive neurosociological research. The study explores the pioneering neurosociological paradigm in metaverse, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize our understanding of social interactions through advanced methodologies such as hyperscanning and interbrain synchrony. This convergence presents unprecedented opportunities for neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals due to technology personalization. Traditional face-to-face, interbrain coupling, and metaverse interactions are empirically substantiated. Biomarkers of social interaction as feedback between social brain networks and metaverse is presented. The innovative contribution of findings to the broader literature on metaverse and neurosociology is substantiated. This article also discusses the ethical aspects of integrating the neurosociological paradigm into the metaverse.
元宇宙将人们融入虚拟世界,其面临的挑战取决于人类、技术和程序层面的进展。到目前为止,这些挑战的解决方案尚未涉及广泛的神经社会学研究。该研究探索了元宇宙中开创性的神经社会学范式,强调其通过超扫描和脑间同步等先进方法彻底改变我们对社会互动理解的潜力。由于技术个性化,这种融合为神经正常和神经差异个体带来了前所未有的机会。传统面对面、脑间耦合和元宇宙互动得到了实证证实。提出了作为社会脑网络与元宇宙之间反馈的社会互动生物标志物。研究结果对关于元宇宙和神经社会学的更广泛文献的创新贡献得到了证实。本文还讨论了将神经社会学范式融入元宇宙的伦理方面。
