Exploring how healthy individuals communicate through body movements and brain activity

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the neurobehavioral mechanisms behind verbal and non-verbal communication in healthy individuals. By employing non-invasive behavioral and neurophysiological techniques, the research aims to identify the markers that quantify the dynamics of communication. The study will assess how individual differences in interpreting signals affect action performance and how interaction contexts influence brain and muscle activity during communication. The findings could enhance our understanding of social behaviors and their underlying neural processes.
