PRINCETON, N.J., July 27 (UPI) -- Some people in conversation with each other truly have a meeting of the minds as their brain patterns fall into step with each other, researchers say.
Scientists at Princeton University in New Jersey performed MRI brain scans of volunteers as they listened to a woman recounting a story and discovered a "coupling" phenomenon, a study published by the National Academy of Sciences said.
The scans showed that the listeners' brain patterns tracked those of the storyteller almost exactly, though trailing 1 to 3 seconds behind.
