PROVEN: Inter-brain neurofeedback increases social connectedness
Full Description
A 2025 randomized controlled trial (bioRxiv: Promoting Social Connectedness Through Interbrain Neurofeedback) demonstrated that dyads receiving real-time inter-brain coupling neurofeedback showed significantly increased social connectedness compared to sham controls. The effect was mediated by shared intentionality and perceived joint control. This PROVES the core mechanism of the Entrain Network — that feeding back inter-brain synchronization to participants measurably strengthens social bonds. The Entrain Network extends this from N=2 to N=unlimited using Kuramoto coupling over a BLE/internet mesh.

Inter-Brain Bandwidth: The Neural Network of a Civilization
Conscious output: ~10 bits/sec (Caltech 2024) Sensory input: ~10^9 bits/sec Internal processing: ~10^13-10^16 FLOP/s The brain is a massively parallel processor with a very narrow conscious output bottleneck. Carrier frequency: 7-14 Hz (theta/alpha) Entrainment bandwidth: ~1-3 Hz Information per cycle: ~1-10 bits (phase state, amplitude modulation) Rate per brain-pair: ~7-70 bits/sec This is LOW...
Integrated Information (Phi) of a Human Superorganism: Beyond Individual Consciousness
Phi (Phi) measures a system's consciousness as its capacity to integrate information into a unified whole that cannot be decomposed into independent parts. Phi_total ~ N x Phi_individual Each brain is an independent information integrator. The group is NOT conscious as a unit. It is N separate consciousnesses. FOR N PHASE-LOCKED BRAINS (entrained population): Phase-locking creates effective...
Hyperscanning Evidence: Inter-Brain Synchrony Already Proven to Predict Team Performance
1. TEAM PERFORMANCE (Reinero et al. 2020, PLOS Comp Bio) 174 participants, groups of 4, EEG hyperscanning. FINDING: Inter-brain synchrony predicts collective performance. Teams with higher synchrony outperform those with lower synchrony. Self-reported group identification did NOT predict performance — only neural synchrony did. IMPLICATION: brain-level coordination matters more than conscious...
