A Friday afternoon post to share our new paper (pre-print)! We modelled brain & behaviour & physiology from 27 unconstrained social learning interactions. Learning emerged from non-linear brain-gaze coupling and asymmetric neural dependencies suggesting mutual prediction. Full thread below ⬇️

Question 2: Can one person’s brain activity be predicted from their partner’s behaviour and neural signals? Here we used a xGLM to model each individual’s activation as a function of self and partner’s gaze, speech, head-movement and physiology & partner's neural data.

We recorded simultaneous brain activity from 27 teacher–learner pairs as they taught each other facts about unfamiliar items as well as eye-gaze, speech, nodding and breathing.
