The brain waves of two musicians synchronise when they are performing duet even when playing different voices, a new study has found.
A team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin used electrodes to record the brain waves of 16 pairs of guitarists while they played a sequence from "Sonata in G Major" by Christian Gottlieb Scheidler.
In each pair, the two musicians played different voices of the piece. One guitarist was responsible for beginning the song and setting the tempo while the other was instructed to follow, LiveScience reported.
In 60 trials each, the pairs of musicians showed coordinated brain oscillations
