Ever wondered what happens in your brain when you work perfectly in sync with someone else? In this groundbreaking episode, we dive into fascinating new research that reveals how our brains literally synchronize during cooperation. Through an innovative virtual "three-legged race" experiment and cutting-edge brain recording technology, scientists have uncovered the neural dance that occurs when humans work together.

We'll explore how cooperation isn't just one simple process, but a dynamic interaction with distinct phases – each with its own unique brain signature. Using intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG), researchers have captured unprecedented details of how our brains coordinate during teamwork, revealing fascinating patterns in key brain regions like the amygdala and temporoparietal junction.

From understanding social dynamics to potentially helping those who struggle with cooperation, this episode unveils the intricate neural choreography that makes human collaboration possible. Join us for a mind-bending journey into the science of working together.
