In a Scientific America article, "German scientists report in BMC Neuroscience that they measured the brain waves of eight pairs of guitarists using electroencephalography (EEG) while they played a modern jazz piece calledFusion #1 (by Alexander Buck). The researchers found that the guitarists' brain waves were aligned most during three pivotal times: when they were syncing up with a metronome, when they began playing the piece and at points during the composition that demanded the most synchrony."
One has to speculate this same synchrony is in play with high performing teams, teams focused on producing specific measurable desired results in time.
So is it the very existence of the organizational equivalent of a metronome, and a jazz piece to play together, that allows for aligned, coordinated action, or synchrony?
