However, the consequences that out-of-phase cardiorespiratory coupling has on the self, and whether it is related to self-regulation, remain unexplored.

Interpersonal synchrony feels good but impedes self-regulation of affect - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Interpersonal synchrony feels good but impedes self-regulation of affect

The findings may be related to previous research showing that interpersonal synchrony results in weakened self-regulation of affect:

This paper took countless iterations of analysis, presentations, etc., before I dared to write it up (and am still skeptical). Hoping that this will open new conversations regarding effects of interpersonal synchronization on the 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

We believe our new hyperscanning-EEG method is well suited for identifying asymmetric neural mechanisms during real-time social interaction. The methodology has an added benefit of being expandable to multi-brain microstates for investigating group interactions.

While we acknowledge that two-brain microstates were unable to pick up on interaction-related differences, possibly due to the low-level task, or IBS - probably because microstates focus on global neuronal brain states, overlooking smaller spatially focal synchronised processes....

Source localisation indicated that the difference in microstate dynamics between symmetric and asymmetric conditions was likely modulated by a difference in default mode network related activity between the two participants when they took on different interactive roles.
