Joint forward model for interpersonal action coordination and various social interaction situations described in the Research Topic. The joint forward model for interpersonal action coordination with three representation levels (i.e., representation of individual, other's, and joint forward models with corresponding sensorimotor feedbacks) is represented in the middle left (adapted from Müller et al., 2021). This model reflects a variety of the interactions described in the Research Topic. On the bottom left, a hyper-frequency connectivity structure of a choir singing a canon with different voices is displayed (adapted from Müller et al., 2018a). A hyper-brain network with intra- and inter-brain connectivity emerging during an interaction of two people is schematically represented on the top left. The structure represents two hyper-brain modules or communities (coded in blue and red) comprising nodes from two different brains, as described in Müller. On the right, different interaction situations described in the Research Topic are presented (adapted from Klein et al. and Lange et al.; cf. also Müller et al. for the soccer game; the guitarist duo on the top right, Copyright © Arne Sattler).
