Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated the functional connectivity between the mirror neuron system and the reward system during cheering for others, in order to reveal the mechanism of vicarious reward. First, by an fMRI experiment to measure the observer’s brain activity during cheering, we showed that the mirror neuron system and the reward system activated significantly, showing functional connectivity between these areas. Second, by using a NIRS hyperscanning experiment to simultaneously measure the observer’s and the player’s brains, we found that there was a strong functional connectivity between the two brain’s motor areas. These results indicate that the vicarious reward is induced by the cheered-for player’s success, whose motor representation the observer’s mirror neuron system internally simulates.
