A system for increasing neural synchrony by using biofeedback, comprising:
- a first electroencephalogram (EEG) headset including a plurality of first electrodes, wherein the first EEG headset is configured to be worn by a first user, and wherein the first electrodes of the plurality of first electrodes of the first EEG headset are configured to detect neural activity in the first user;
- a second EEG headset including a plurality of second electrodes, wherein the second EEG headset is configured to be worn by a second user, and wherein the second electrodes of the plurality of second electrodes of the second EEG headset are configured to detect neural activity in the second user;
- at least one image capture device, wherein the at least one image capture device is configured to capture first images of at least one first behavior performed by the first user and second images of at least one second behavior performed by the second user;
- at least one display device;
- and
- a computer in communication with the first EEG headset, the second EEG headset, the at least one image capture device, and the at least one display device, wherein the computer includes at least one processor and at least one memory, wherein the at least one memory is configured to store computer instructions configured to instruct the at least one processor to:
- receive a first data set from the first EEG headset, wherein the first data set includes data of the neural activity of the first user;
- receive a second data set from the second EEG headset, wherein the second data set includes data of the neural activity of the second user;
- compare-the first data set with the second data set;
- identify an occurrence of neural synchrony between the first user and the second user based on the comparison of the first data with the second data set, wherein identifying the occurrence of neural synchrony includes determining a probability of neural synchrony occurring between the first user and the second user based on a quantitative score, wherein the quantitative score is compared to a predetermined threshold score to determine the occurrence of neural synchrony between the first user and the second user and the probability of neural synchrony occurring between the first user and the second user;
- transmit data of the occurrence of neural synchrony between the first user and the second user, wherein the transmitted data includes the probability of neural synchrony occurring between the first user and the second user;
- and
- display a graph of the occurrence of neural synchrony between the first user and the second user on the at least one display device in real-time during at least one biofeedback session such that an increase or decrease in neural synchrony can be visualized by at least one of the first user and the second user during the at least one biofeedback session to increase an amount of time that neural synchrony is maintained between the first user and the second user.
