Physiological coupling refers to the phenomenon where the physiological processes of two or more individuals become synchronized or influence each other, often observed in close relationships or group settings. This synchronization can occur in various forms, such as heart rate, hormonal levels, or neural activity, highlighting the deep interconnectedness of human physiology in social contexts.

Physiological processes are the complex interactions and functions that occur within living organisms to maintain life and homeostasis. These processes encompass a wide range of activities, including metabolism, respiration, circulation, and cellular communication, each crucial for sustaining health and responding to environmental changes.

Neural activity refers to the electrical and chemical processes that occur within neurons as they communicate with each other, forming the basis of all brain functions and behaviors. Understanding neural activity is crucial for deciphering how the brain processes information, responds to stimuli, and maintains homeostasis.
