Welcome!👋🏼
Welcome to my webpage! As a researcher, my work is focused on exploring the complexities of interpersonal communication and interaction, with a particular emphasis on verbal communication and joint action. My research interests include EEG hyperscanning, interbrain synchronisation, natural language/speech processing, and the study of neural mechanisms that underlie social cognition.

This viewpoint article offers insights to improve the conceptual clarity and empirical standards of inter-personal interaction studies using hyperscanning.
Pérez A, Dumas G, Karadag M, Duñabeitia JA (2019) Differential brain-to-brain entrainment while speaking and listening in native and foreign languages. Cortex, 111, 303–315.
This study was the first to report differences in brain-to-brain synchronisation for verbal communication in native and foreign languages.
Pérez A, Carreiras M, & Duñabeitia JA (2017) Brain-to-brain entrainment: EEG interbrain synchronization while speaking and listening. Scientific Reports, 7(1), 4190.
This study was one of the first to demonstrate inter-brain coupling during speaking and listening using EEG hyperscanning.
