Unequal allocation alters the benefit of interactive decision-making in novices: A hyperscanning study.

Equality is often considered fundamental for effective social interaction, while inequality seems to be counterproductive. Although interaction benefits under equal sharing are well-documented, how unequal reward allocation shapes such benefits and their neural basis remains unclear. This study examined dyads consisting of one "expert" and one "novice" (classified based on individual performance in baseline task) performing a joint dot-location estimation task during simultaneous functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hyperscanning.
