If you\u2019ve ever been riding a wave of creativity<\/a> that feels like your brain and someone else\u2019s have been Bluetooth-synced and are now finishing each other\u2019s sentences, both instinctively knowing where the song\/screenplay\/woodworking project or whatever you\u2019re building should go, then you\u2019ve experienced what scientists call brain synchrony.<\/p>\n

As described by a team of researchers publishing their findings as a press release on Eureka Alert<\/a>, originally published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences<\/a><\/em>, it\u2019s a real phenomenon that\u2019s been observed in laboratories and real-world settings. Now, researchers say it isn\u2019t just measurable, but it can actually be strengthened.<\/p>\n

Researchers reviewed a decade of studies involving thousands of people, from regular everyday students to professional artists. Using portable EEG headsets, researchers found that when people are genuinely engaged with one another, their brainwave activity begins to align. Even more interesting, when participants received real-time feedback showing how synchronized they were, that alignment often became even stronger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
