Scientific Study: Musicians’ Brains “sync up” when playing together

Posted On April 25, 2013 by Ancora Quartet

I found this article interesting:

http://www.livescience.com/25117-musicians-brains-sync-up-during-duet.html

The study at the Max Planck Institute in Berlin found that the brain waves of two musicians synchronize when the two play a duet. I imagine the same principle applies to four musicians playing a quartet.

We in the quartet often refer to the concept of the ‘mind meld,’ and here is the science to back up that idea.
