Especially with the pandemic, people started communicating with each other more online. Both those who work remotely and those who play online games have become very popular among people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Believe it or not, it turns out that this situation prompts people’s brains to work in sync.

In a new study at the University of Helsinki, researchers subjected a group of people to experiments on the subject and showed that people did not need a physical presence. discovered that the brain waves were synchronized with each other.

‘You control it, I shoot’

In experiments, researchers asked a few subjects to drive a race car during a game, and both subjects were placed in soundproof rooms. Researchers have found one that controls the steering wheel and the other the accelerator and brake pedals. they examined the joint driving experience of two different test subjects.

According to the results, the brains of the experiments synchronized while playing online games. With increased synchronization in the alpha and gamma frequency bands together the driving experience of the test subjects was almost perfect.

One of the researchers, Valtteri Wikström, argues that our social brain is actually designed for face-to-face communication, but with such empathetic online interactions, people can thinks they can increase their productivity while online.
