Interaction Dynamics of Physical Cooperation During Human-Human Interaction

Abstract

This project looks into the neural and behavioral mechanisms that are present during physical cooperation in human-human interaction using a dual-robot KINARM system. By analyzing the force exchange and the movement coordination between participants, along with directional causality metrics, the study examines how individuals influence each other during shared motor tasks under different conditions like delayed visual feedback and excess force.

The results provide insight into how coordinated behavior emerges through physical coupling, allowing for better understanding of motor control and improving rehabilitation strategies.
