One of the typical campus scenes is the social interaction between college couples, and the lesson couples must keep learning is to adapt to each other. This fMRI study investigated the shopping interactions of 30 college couples, one lying inside and the other outside the scanner, beholding the same item from two connected PCs, making preference ratings and subsequent buy/not-buy decisions. The behavioral results showed the clear modulation of significant others preferences onto ones own decisions, and the contrast of the "shop-together vs. shop-alone", and the "congruent (both liked or disliked the item, 68%) vs. incongruent (one liked but the other disliked, and vice versa)" together trials, both revealed bilateral temporal parietal junction (TPJ) among other reward-related regions, likely reflecting mentalizing during preference harmony. Moreover, when contrasting "own-high/other-low vs. own-low/other-high" incongruent trials, left anterior inferior parietal lobule (l-aIPL) was parametrically mapped, and the "yield (e.g., own-high/not-buy) vs. insist (e.g., own-low/not-buy)" modulation further revealed left lateral-IPL (l-lIPL), together with left TPJ forming a local social decision network that was further constrained by the mediation analysis among left TPJ-lIPL-aIPL. In sum, these results exemplify, via the two-person fMRI, the neural substrate of shopping interactions between couples.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
