Having brains that are thus synchronized or "in tune" can help people boost their emotional connection, improve communication, and align their attention.
Early interactions shape children's cognitive and emotional development in a sustainable way. Social neurosciences now show that these exchanges leave a measurable trace in the brain. Recent research examines how two brains line up when they share a simple activity like gambling. A British team led by Dr. Efstratia Papoutselou explored this phenomenon in bilingual dyads. Researchers followed mothers and their children aged three to four years. T…
