The Integration of Social and Neural Synchrony : A Case for Ecologically-Valid Research Using MEG Neuroimaging
The recent decade has seen a shift from artificial and environmentally-deprived experiments in neuroscience to real-life studies on multiple brains in interaction, coordination and synchrony. In these new interpersonal synchrony experiments, there has been a growing trend to employ naturalistic social interactions to evaluate mechanisms underlying synchronous neuronal communication. Here, we emphasize the importance of integrating the assessment of neural synchrony with measurement of non-verbal behavioral synchrony as expressed in various social contexts: relaxed social interactions, planning a joint pleasurable activity, conflict discussion, invocation of trauma, or support giving, and as…
Validation de la version française du Coding Interactive Behavior sur une population d’enfants à la naissance et à 2 mois
Resume Objectif L’evaluation des interactions mere–enfant est un enjeu majeur de la psychopathologie perinatale du fait de son impact important sur le developpement de l’enfant aussi bien sur le plan affectif que cognitif. Cet article presente les proprietes psychometriques de la validation francaise du Coding Interactive Behavior (CIB) developpe par Ruth Feldman, echelle permettant l’evaluation de la dyade mere–enfant. Methode La version francaise a d’abord ete traduite et adaptee a la terminologie francaise, puis validee par les auteurs d’origine. Elle a ensuite ete appliquee a 74 interactions dyadiques, cliniques et non cliniques recrutees en maternite, a la naissance et a 2 mois post-pa…
Prenatal Ultrasound Screening: False Positive Soft Markers May Alter Maternal Representations and Mother-Infant Interaction
Background In up to 5% of pregnancies, ultrasound screening detects a “soft marker” (SM) that places the foetus at risk for a severe abnormality. In most cases, prenatal diagnostic work-up rules out a severe defect. We aimed to study the effects of false positive SM on maternal emotional status, maternal representations of the infant, and mother-infant interaction. Methodology and Principal Findings Utilizing an extreme-case prospective case control design, we selected from a group of 244 women undergoing ultrasound, 19 pregnant women whose foetus had a positive SM screening and a reassuring diagnostic work up, and 19 controls without SM matched for age and education. In the third trimester…
The integration of social and neural synchrony: a case for ecologically valid research using MEG neuroimaging
Abstract The recent decade has seen a shift from artificial and environmentally deprived experiments in neuroscience to real-life studies on multiple brains in interaction, coordination and synchrony. In these new interpersonal synchrony experiments, there has been a growing trend to employ naturalistic social interactions to evaluate mechanisms underlying synchronous neuronal communication. Here, we emphasize the importance of integrating the assessment of neural synchrony with measurement of nonverbal behavioral synchrony as expressed in various social contexts: relaxed social interactions, planning a joint pleasurable activity, conflict discussion, invocation of trauma, or support giving…
