Birds of a Feather: Intrinsic neural alignment and personality jointly forecast the emergence of human friendship

2026-01-01

Abstract excerpt

<p>Human friendships are shaped by homophily, the tendency to affiliate with similar others, yet the neurobiological origins of this regularity remain unknown. Predictive-coding schemes propose that interpersonal alignment reduces uncertainty by synchronizing internal generative models. Grounded in this perspective, here we use longitudinal EEG hyperscanning to test the hypothesis that intrinsic neural similarity...
