arXiv:2605.20356v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Full-duplex spoken dialogue models (SDMs) can listen and speak simultaneously, enabling interaction dynamics closer to human conversation than turn-based systems. Inspired by neural coupling in human communication, we study how such models coordinate their internal representations during interaction. We simulate full-duplex dialogues between two instances of the pretrained \textit{Moshi} model under controlled conditions, manipulating channel noise and decoding bias. Synchronization is measured using Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA) across tempora
The accelerating development of advanced AI models and the increasing demand for more natural human-AI interaction are driving research into sophisticated conversational mechanics.
This research provides a foundational step towards more intuitive and effective human-AI communication, which is critical for the broader adoption and utility of AI systems.
The ability of AI models to engage in full-duplex communication and self-synchronize their internal states moves beyond simplistic turn-taking, making interactions feel more human-like and efficient.

AI conversations will become significantly more fluid and less frustrating, improving user experience.
This improved interaction could accelerate the deployment of autonomous AI agents in various sectors, as 'conversational friction' decreases.
The enhanced human-AI collaborative capacity may lead to new forms of white-collar automation and the development of novel AI-driven services and products.
