Researchers at the University "G. d'Annunzio" of Chieti-Pescara in Italy have developed a novel multimodal experimental setup and study protocol to investigate the neurophysiological basis of joint action. The setup involves the simultaneous recording of EEG, ECG, EMG, respiration, and kinematic data from two individuals engaged in cooperative and competitive joint actions, such as playing table tennis. The researchers aim to understand the neural, cognitive-behavioral, and social aspects of joint action and how they are influenced by factors like skill level. This research has the potential to enhance our understanding of daily life joint actions and contribute to the prediction of cooperative or competitive behaviors in real-life contexts.
