Lack of an interactive context for joint action is an important limitation in social neuroscience studies. Portable brain imaging technologies such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) have made it practical to simultaneously monitor the brain hemodynamics of two or more people engaged in social interaction. In this study, the modulation of inter-brain coherence is investigated in two different joint activity scenarios. In the first experiment, 22 dyads simultaneously read aloud matching and mismatching sentences in three conditions that differed in terms of the clarity in which partners hear each others’ voices. Behavioral analysis indicated that participants significantly performed better when they could hear the other partner, F(1.55,43.35)=78.53,p<.001, and when the sentences match each other, F(1,28)=14.31,p<.01. A wavelet-transform coherence analysis (WTC) conducted on deoxy-hemoglobin (HbR) changes suggest that the level of inter-brain coherence in the right superior frontal cortex (SFC) tends to increase depending on the level of behavioral synchrony among the participants. In the second study (ongoing), 4 dyads attempted to solve Raven-like visual pattern completion tasks, where the pieces were revealed only when both partners’ eyes dwell on the same box. WTC analysis of eye gaze data indicated that a significantly higher level of gaze coherence occurred during the actual task as compared to a free-viewing practice, F(1.44,4.33)=8.28,p<.05. The strongest coherence in HbR signals was around right SFC. Hyperscanning studies focusing on different joint tasks also found increased coherence in the right SFC, which altogether highlight this area's important role in the facilitation of joint attention and coordination.

Resilient features of re-emerging dyadic communication systems in an interactive virtual environment
Ulubay, Murat; Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2013)
This study mainly focuses on the emergence and utilization of communication systems in the context of joint action where collective cognitive activity is required. Dyads are given an instant messaging medium of communication where only a limited number of characters and symbols can be used for information exchange in order to collaborate on common tasks of finding objects, in a network-based interactive virtual environment (ActiveWorlds), a 3D, multi-agent, virtual reality platform. The restrictions on comm...
The Contribution of self-control, emotion regulation, rumination, and gender to test anxiety of university students
Irkörücü, Ayşe; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz; Department of Educational Sciences (2012)
The aim of the study is to investigate the relation between attachment style, early maladaptive schemas and attitude towards help seeking. Participants of this study were composed from 572 university students (264 female, 308 male). Participants were selected by convenient sampling method. The data was obtained by using the scale of Attitudes toward Seeking Psychological Help - Shortened (Türküm, 2001), Relationship Questionnaire (Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991), Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (Young &...
A Plasmonic method for the determination of serotonin
Avcı, Begüm; Volkan, Mürvet; Department of Chemistry (2019)
Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter for regulating many cognitive and behavioral functions. Its abnormal levels have been related with various diseases hence the determination of the serotonin is very important. Sialic acid is mostly found in acidic glycan chains, glycolipids and glycoproteins and it is known to have a specific affinity for serotonin. In this study, determination of serotonin by using plasmonic property of gold nanoparticles was aimed. After synthesizing gold nanoparticles through si...
Analyzing effective connectivity of brain using fMRI data : DCM and PPI
Mojtahedi, Sina; Halıcı, Uğur; Çiçek, Metehan; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2013)
In neuroscience and biomedical engineering fields, one of the most important issues nowadays is finding a relationship between different brain regions when it is stimulated. Connectivity is an important research area in neuroscience which tries to determine the relationship between different brain region when the brain is stimulated externally or internally. Three main type of connectivity are discussed in this field: Anatomical, Functional and Effective connectivity. Importance of effective connectivity is...
Longitudinal data analysis with statistical and machine learning methods in neuroscience
Çakar, Serenay; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya; Department of Statistics (2022-8)
Exploration of brain activity under different conditions has been subject to many neuroscience studies. The recent developments in cognitive studies provide the opportunity to work on neural correlates of specific cognitive processes such as working memory, decision making, response inhibition, perception, and sensation. Brain response studies constitute multidimensional, multilevel or nested data sets formed by different parts of the brain of individuals. Hence, it is of significant importance to implement...
