Creating Harmony: When we Listen to Understand Our Brains 'Dance in Parallel'




Listen Up!

According to Emma Seppala, Ph.D., science director of Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, brain imaging studies show:

"When two people talk and truly understand each other, something quite spectacular happens: Their brains literally synchronize."





On with the Dance! 

"It is as if they are dancing in parallel, the listener’s brain activity mirroring that of the speaker with a short delay."
Emma Seppala


Listen to Understand
"That is the kind of communication we should all aim for—and one that may lead to not only better relationships, but more compassion."
