The authors measured alpha brain wave activity from volunteers as a function of gender of experimenter and gender of volunteer. Cross-gender combinations, especially for male volunteer—female experimenter, showed different patterns than same-gender combinations. However in an experiment using the standard design (Berger 2007), status and agreement or disagreement feedback, elicited very similar brain wave patterns for male and female participants.
