The Social Benefits of Getting Our Brains in Sync

Our brain waves can align when we work and play closely together. The phenomenon, known as interbrain synchrony, suggests that collaboration is biological.

"...Dozens of recent experiments studying the brain activity of people performing and working together — duetting pianists, card players, teachers and students, jigsaw puzzlers and others — show that their brain waves can align in a phenomenon known as interpersonal neural synchronization, also known as interbrain synchrony..."

Ah, studies in labs. Nowhere does this article mention a mob mentality leading to persecution and violence, or the mass psychosis of things like Jan 6th, trump speeches, and paranoid QAnon meetups.

Yes, total submersion is great when a good team works together on a cool project. But that's rare.

It's terrible when bad groups work together to implement their deranged fantasies or delusions of superiority.
