Motor coordination plays a crucial role in the establishment of social interactions. Previous studies have focused on single-limb coordination, neglecting two-limb coordination. The current study adopted a novel experimental paradigm, a bilateral stepping task of different modes (in-phase/anti-phase) when two participants performed the stepping coordination. In addition to behavioral performance, the brain activity of both interacting parties was simultaneously recorded by using the fNIRS hyperscanning. The results revealed stronger neural activity in certain regions of interest (corresponding to the bilateral inferior parietal lobule) during intra-individual coordination as compared to inter-individual coordination for both in-phase and anti-phase patterns. Therefore, the inferior parietal lobule may be potentially the critical neural basis for motor coordination.
Key words： motor coordination; fNIRS; hyperscanning
