Music & Science: Brains swinging in concert – brain synchronization while playing guitar

March 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Interesting research about musicians playing music together. They do not just “play” together – their brain waves actually get into synchronization. Now how cool is that?!

PACE - a Premiumbeat,.com musician

PACE - a Premiumbeat.com musician

Background

In this study, we simultaneously recorded EEG from the brains of each of eight pairs of guitarists playing a short melody together to explore the extent and the functional significance of synchronized cortical activity in the course of interpersonally coordinated actions.

Brain waves - musicians

Brain waves - musicians

Results

By applying synchronization algorithms to intra- and interbrain analyses, we found that phase synchronization both within and between brains increased significantly during the periods of (i) preparatory metronome tempo setting and (ii) coordinated play onset. Phase alignment extracted from within-brain dynamics was related to behavioral play onset asynchrony between guitarists.

Brain waves 2 - musicians

Brain waves 2 - musicians

Conclusions

Our findings show that interpersonally coordinated actions are preceded and accompanied by between-brain oscillatory couplings. Presumably, these couplings reflect similarities in the temporal properties of the individuals’ percepts and actions. Whether between-brain oscillatory couplings play a causal role in initiating and maintaining interpersonal action coordination needs to be clarified by further research.
