Anatomical locations of CHs with significant neural synchronization. CHs that showed significant brain-to-brain synchronization (speaker-listener) are shown in turquoise (also see arrows in turquoise between the listener and the speaker). This result corresponds to Fig. 3b. That is, based on the WTC analysis on the pairs of neural signals within each participant group, significantly enhanced INS in the LA pairs was identified at TPJ-TPJ (CH3-CH3) compared to that of the LU pairs (two-sample t-test, two-tailed) in both the face-to-face and back-to-back conditions. Significantly enhanced INS was also found at pSTC-TPJ in the LA pairs compared with the LU pairs in the face-to-face condition. CHs that showed significant brain-to-speech synchronization in the listener’s brain are shown in yellow. CHs that showed significant brain-to-speech synchronization in the speaker’s brain are shown in brown. These latter results correspond to Fig. 6, and were obtained from the calculation of neural synchronization between the brain activity and the speech envelope. These spatial patterns show the dissociation of brain-to-brain synchronization from brain-to-speech synchronization in their anatomical locations. The brain images were automatically generated using BrainNet Viewer, which is freely available on the NITRC51
