Estimation of Parent-Child Brain Synchronization During Joint Interaction

Project ID: 5953-2-22
Year: 2022
Student/s: Avi Shemesh, Marwa Zubedat
Supervisor/s: Michal Zivan

In this work we explored the cerebral synchronization between mother and son during a joint activity. The synchronization is tested between signals in the brain called EEG signals. These are signals in the human brain from which much can be learned about our brain activity. These signals focus on five frequency ranges: alpha, beta, gamma, delta and theta. During the project we will take EEG signals measured between several pairs of mother and child both during joint activity and not during joint activity, and we would like to see if there is higher synchronization during their joint activity. We used two known metrics to test signal synchronization and they are: CCORR, PLV, and we will test them in 3 different states and in four different frequencies. We examined each of the methods on the signals of these pairs and analyzed the data. Finally, we compared the two methods in an attempt to see which of the methods gives better results.
