Team cognition can be defined as the ability that humans haveto coordinate with others through a complex environment.Sports offer exquisite examples of this dynamic interplayrequiring decision making and other perceptual-cognitiveskills to adjust individual decisions to the team self-organization and vice-versa. Considering players of a team asperiodic phase oscillators, synchrony analyses can be used tomodel the coordination of a team. Nonetheless, a mainlimitation of current models is that collective behavior iscontext independent. In other words, players of a team can behighly synchronized without this corresponding to ameaningful coordination dynamics relevant to the context ofthe game. Considering these issues, the aim of this study wasto develop a method of analysis sensitive to the context forevidence-based measures of team cognition.
