Inter‐Brain Neural Couplings During Table Tennis Doubles

Key Points

• The aim is to explore the neural mechanisms of collaboration in table tennis doubles through neural coupling.
• Utilized fNIRS-based hyperscanning to monitor brain activity across players.
• Compared brain synchronization during joint anticipation versus rest conditions.
• Found increased inter-brain synchronization in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and pars triangularis.
• Highlights the neural basis of enhanced cooperation during joint activities.
