Article Abstract
Reliably diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in adulthood poses a challenge to clinicians due to the absence of specific diagnostic markers. This study investigated the potential of interpersonal synchrony (IPS), which has been found to be reduced in ASD, to augment the diagnostic process. IPS was objectively assessed in videos of diagnostic interviews in a representative referral population from two specialized autism outpatient clinics. In contrast to the current screening tools that could not reliably differentiate, we found a significant reduction of IPS in interactions with individuals later diagnosed with ASD (n = 16) as opposed to those not receiving a diagnosis (n = 23). While these findings need to be validated in larger samples, they nevertheless underline the potential of digitally-enhanced diagnostic processes for ASD.

The Influence of Patient and Physician Race-Related Attitudes and Perceptions on Nonverbal Synchrony in Oncology Treatment Interactions Between Black Patients and Non-Black Physicians.

IntroductionAbundant research documents Black-White disparities in the quality of patient-physician clinical communication during oncology interactions. Prior research shows that Black patients' and non-Black physicians' race-related attitudes and perceptions influence clinical communication and patient and physician perceptions of one another. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the effects of such attitudes and perceptions on another important but understudied aspect of interpersonal communication-nonverbal synchrony.

The patient-therapist interpersonal dynamics is a cornerstone of psychotherapy, yet how it shapes clinical outcomes remains underexplored and difficult to quantify. This is also true in autism, where interpersonal interplay is recognized as an active element of intervention. Moreover, behavioral research is time-consuming and labor-intensive, limiting its translational applications.

Feedback drives creativity, yet how individuals benefit from it remains unclear. This study explored the cognitive and neural mechanisms through which interpersonal feedback promotes creativity. The fNIRS measured interpersonal neural synchronization (INS) during feedback, focusing on the prefrontal cortex and the right temporoparietal area.

This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of how individuals with autism spectrum condition (ASC) process social motor coordination, focusing on joint action and its neural correlates, as examined through functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in comparing to their neurotypical (NT) counterparts. Eleven studies were analyzed, with nine included in the meta-analysis. The results identified the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) and superior temporal sulcus (STS) as significant moderators explaining group differences in cortical activation during joint action.

This paper explores the impact of technology-mediated (TM) communication on interpersonal synchrony through the integrated lens of social neuroscience, embodied cognition, and Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT). It focuses particularly on the case of remote working, which exemplifies the challenges and adaptations required when social interactions shift from face-to-face (FTF) to digital environments. While FTF communication enables interpersonal synchrony through rich sensorimotor cues, such as gaze, posture, and gesture, TM communication often reduces or distorts these embodied signals.
