How very amazing. The fMRI results harken back to the "Mind Meld" that the Vulcan Startrek character Spock performed, absent the "wire" of Spock's touch. It's kind of the mind's version of wireless internet!
Life is stranger than fiction. Or is it??
And ABBA! Yes, I still have ABBA's songs floating around in my head. Wonderful times.
I definitely see people's lives, mine included, as often being the stuff of fiction!
Perhaps that's why right now the public seems to be hungry for stories based upon real life. Even if it's loosely based upon, there is a theme within the story that "resonates" with people.
I was dancing to ABBA in movie theatre aisles as Meryl , Pierce and Colin (first name basis - I felt so very close to them) brought Mamma Mia to my synapses! :)
Loved "collective effervescence" reference, it reminded me of Dr. Maria Nemeth's teachings (Mastering Life's Energies)
on the "luminosity" experience , during my Life Coach training during early 2000's.
One thing is very clear about this type of encounter, when it happens to you, you never forget it! And perhaps the brain even becomes attuned to replications at the nearest opportunity.:-)
A synchronous connection being recognized between us and other, a brain bridge in the ether, well I would even tag it as part of a "Mystikal" experience.
It is likewise very exciting to learn about the recognition of a neuroscience link around this subject, as you continue writing with The Story Rules Project!
PS- I'll have to ask you later about quoting some of your references, in my own personal "Mystikal" writing project. Ten years long in the process. :)
There was dancing in the theater at Mamma Mia?! How wonderful!! Did you know that Meryl Streep prepared for the singing part of the role by locking herself in a closet at home in an attempt to convince herself that her family could not overhear? In the current season of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building she is back, singing once more.

I love the idea of the mind having its own inbuilt wireless network for connecting with other minds!

Agree -- there is something happening right now re: the desire for true stories that are also fictionalized.
Am late to read this, but so worth the wait!

Ayup, people were singing and dancing! At the end. It was quite a connective experience of joy.
I'll have to check out Only in the Buildong , thx! And finally , no I hadn't heard that story about Meryl Streep's closet singing.:-)
I love this reflection! Magical when minds align like that.
Thank you! Magical indeed -- I am collecting examples of this, if you'd like to share!
