Research Abstract

In this research, I constructed a system to measure the brain activity using functional MRI and EEG, and gaze direction simultaneously when two persons communicate face-to-face. This enables us to investigate neural mechanisms of real-time interaction as a dynamical systems employing three different kinds of data.
