Speaker-listener Neural Coupling Underlies Successful Communication Greg J. Stephens, Lauren J. Silbert, and Uri Hasson (2010)

Communication involves both speaking and listening. Traditional research has studied these processes separately within individual brains. This study examines brain activity in speakers and listeners during natural conversation, revealing coupled neural responses that correlate with effective communication. Abstract Verbal communication is a joint activity; however, speech production and comprehension have primarily been analyzed as independent … Continue reading Speaker-listener Neural Coupling Underlies Successful Communication Greg J.
