• Abstract summary: The relationship between individuals' behavioral and physiological markers and their combined influence on overall team performance remains poorly understood. Our findings reveal a strong connection between team performance and the predictability of a team member's future actions. Contrary to conventional wisdom that high-performing teams are highly synchronized, our results suggest that physiological and behavioral synchronizations among team members have a limited correlation with team performance.

• Abstract: In collaborative environments, a deep understanding of multi-human teaming dynamics is essential for optimizing performance. However, the relationship between individuals' behavioral and physiological markers and their combined influence on overall team performance remains poorly understood. To explore this, we designed a triadic human collaborative sensorimotor task in virtual reality (VR) and introduced a novel predictability metric to examine team dynamics and performance. Our findings reveal a strong connection between team performance and the predictability of a team member's future actions based on other team members' behavioral and physiological data. Contrary to conventional wisdom that high-performing teams are highly synchronized, our results suggest that physiological and behavioral synchronizations among team members have a limited correlation with team performance. These insights provide a new quantitative framework for understanding multi-human teaming, paving the way for deeper insights into team dynamics and performance.

  This paper presents a data-driven approach to detect the functional interaction structure for software development teams. Our approach considers differences in the activity levels of team members and uses a block-constrained configuration model. We show how our approach enables teams to compare their functional interaction structure against synthetically created benchmark scenarios.

  Agreeableness has demonstrated a non-significant and highly variable relationship with team performance. An agent-based model (ABM) is used to predict the effects of personality traits on teamwork. A genetic algorithm is then used to explore the limits of the ABM in order to discover which traits correlate with best and worst performing teams.

  We train teams of physically simulated humanoid avatars to play football in a realistic virtual environment. In a sequence of stages, players first learn to control a fully articulated body to perform realistic, human-like movements. They then acquire mid-level football skills such as dribbling and shooting. Finally, they develop awareness of others and play as a team, bridging the gap between low-level motor control at a timescale of milliseconds.
