Summary:

This book presents a thorough and up-to-date review of the scientific literature on behavioural synchronization and its underlying neurocognitive and neurophysiological processes, from the neuronal to the interindividual and group scale. This multi-disciplinary and multi-scale approach makes this book of interest to scientists and graduate students for both theoretical issues as well practical issues such as mobilizing animals and humans for group / mass actions (e.g. for climate change, diabetes, leading animals, etc.).

Contents:

1. Introduction of behavioural synchronization

2. Visuomotor approach of behavioural synchronization

3. Neurophysiological and cognitive bases of behavioural synchronization

4. Cognitive properties of behavioural synchronization

5. Social functions of mirror neurons, motor resonance and motor contagion

6. Social modulators of behavioural synchronization

7. Conclusion: Behavioural synchronization, a pillar of social cognition.
