Knowing A Fic Author Through AO3 Is Like Attending Someone’s Thesis Presentation And Politely Clapping

We need to teach kids to think for themselves. We need to expect them to think for themselves and then we need to be a lot more willing to trust them to think for themselves.

People's Brains Sync Up When Gaming Together, Even When Nobody's There

The more synced up the participants' gamma rays were, the better short-term performance in the game. And the higher their alpha synchrony, the better they did overall.

It’s been easy to feel disconnected over the past two and a half years, despite all the hours spent doing Zoom trivia and online gaming with friends.

But it turns out that, even when we’re physically alone, our brains may be able to sync up with the minds of others we’re playing with better than expected.

A new study has shown that people playing a cooperative game together online can achieve brainwave synchronization, even when they’re in total isolation.

This type of synchronization is usually associated with social interaction, and is important to a healthy society because it’s linked to better empathy and cooperation.

But this new research suggests it doesn’t only happen when we’re face to face.

“We were able to show that inter-brain phase synchronization can occur without the presence of the other person,” says one of the team, cognitive researcher Valtteri Wikström from the University of Helsinki in Finland.
