Social Interaction and Neuroscience Lab at DTU Compute, led by Ivana Konvalinka. We study behavioural and brain mechanisms underlying social interaction.

When people are close—both physically and emotionally—their heart rates rise and fall in sync. A study of students visiting New York City finds that social familiarity increases heart rate synchrony in real-world settings. In PNAS Nexus: https://ow.ly/kHGc50ZhEWI

Our new paper on heart rate synchrony in real-world settings is out in PNAS Nexus! Led by the amazing @hanluhe.bsky.social, see 👇 It came out yesterday, exactly 18 years since we conducted our first HR sync study between performers and spectators of a fire-walking ritual. @carlsbergfondet.dk

Excited to share that my first paper "Heart rate synchrony as a marker of real-world social engagement" is now published in PNAS Nexus The full article can be accessed here: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar... @sinelabdtu.bsky.social

Check out our brilliant PhD student Hanlu He's @hanluhe.bsky.social 1st paper on heart-rate synchrony in real-world urban environments, replicated across 3 datasets recorded in NYC! HR sync is enhanced by social proximity, familiarity, social context, and better acoustic conditions. 🧵👇

🫀 New preprint alert! 🌆 Thrilled to share the first paper of my PhD on heart-rate synchrony during social interactions in urban environments. @sinelabdtu.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🫁❤️New preprint out: The social, decoupled self We show effects of interpersonal synchronization of physiological rhythms on intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling: when we sync our breathing, our breathing–heart rhythms decouple, with a perturbed phase-relationship www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The social, decoupled self: interpersonal synchronization of breathing alters intrapersonal cardiorespiratory coupling

People synchronize their periodic behavioural and physiological rhythms with each other during social interaction. While this interpersonal synchronization has largely been associated with positive ef...
