abstract = {decision-making dynamics in resource allocation. In this
study, we used EEG hyperscanning alongside an
iteratedultimatum game to investigate interbrain coupling
and dyadic exchange behavior during negotiation.
Frontalcortex event-related potentials (ERPs) revealed the
distinct neural responses driven by partners’ behavioral
cues:the proposer’s N200 differed significantly for fair
versus unfair offers, and the responder’s
feedback-relatednegativity (FRN) showed a trend toward
significance for the same contrast, while the proposer’s
N500 variedbetween acceptance and rejection feedback. Our
analysis introduced a novel causal model based on
directionalphase transfer entropy (dPTE) and time-varying
ERP amplitudes, illustrating directed neural processes
driven bysocial exchange, where the proposer’s brain
activity initially exerts a causal impact on the
responder’s, whosefeedback in turn influences the
proposer, creating a closed-loop interaction that drives
adaptive negotiationstrategies. Additionally, our prediction
model with autoregression with exogenous input, which
incorporatedthese causal links between brains, demonstrated
higher accuracy than single-brain or reverse causal
models,underscoring the significance of dynamic interbrain
coupling in interpersonal coordination. This causal
modelprovides a mechanistic explanation of how
proposer-responder pairs perceive and adapt to each
other’s de-cisions, facilitating shared attention and
behavioral coordination in reciprocal, asymmetric
negotiations. Thesefindings offer a novel theoretical
framework for studying complex social behaviors through
interbrain dynamicsand may inspire future applications in
enhancing cooperative decision-making processes.},
