Remote collaboration in virtual reality induces physiological synchrony comparable to face-to-face interaction.

Physiological synchrony refers to the temporal alignment of bodily signals, such as heart rate variability, between two or more individuals during social interaction. It reflects implicit, often uncon…

Probabilistic inference of social presence across brain scales reveals enhanced synaptic efficacy.

The presence of conspecifics is a fundamental and arguably invariant prerequisite of social cognition across numerous animal species. While the influence of social presence on behavior has been among …

Does the Experimenter Presence Affect Verbal Working Memory?

Recent studies showed that the presence of the experimenter hinders executive functions. Belletier and Camos (2018) extended these findings to working memory, reporting a detrimental effect of the exp…

Are you paying attention to me? The effect of social presence on spatial attention to gaze and arrows.

Prior research has shown that the presence of another individual and type of attention cue (social gaze vs. nonsocial arrow) can modulate attention, with little done to integrate the two. We thus inve…

Recording brain activity can function as an implied social presence and alter neural connectivity.

People often behave differently when they know they are being watched. Here, we report the first investigation of whether such social presence effects also include brain monitoring technology, and als…
