ABSTRACT Humans are inherently social, driven to communicate and build relationships with one another. The question of how messages between people create shared understanding lies at the core of interpersonal communication. Relatedly, neuroscience scholars are beginning to investigate how dyads, i.e. two socially interacting brains, produce this shared understanding. Here, we argue that interpersonal communication has much to contribute to this rapidly growing area within neuroscience, while also benefiting from adopting neuroscientific approaches. We illustrate what such research looks like using reactance as a case example. While we are optimistic that neuroscientific research into interpersonal communication processes will grow and yield new insights into communication processes, we will also discuss challenges and potential misunderstandings that researchers may encounter.

人际交往和神经科学的新兴前沿：扫描社会突触

摘要 人类天生具有社会性，被驱使彼此交流和建立关系。人与人之间的信息如何产生共同理解的问题是人际交流的核心。相关地，神经科学学者开始研究二元组，即两个社交互动的大脑，是如何产生这种共同理解的。在这里，我们认为人际交流对神经科学中这个快速发展的领域有很大贡献，同时也从采用神经科学方法中受益。我们以电抗为例来说明此类研究的样子。虽然我们对人际交流过程的神经科学研究将会发展并产生对交流过程的新见解持乐观态度，
