  • Watch this video. It’s four minutes long, but go ahead and watch the whole thing. There’s something extra that happens in your brain when you watch the whole process, rather than me just telling you about it.

  • When you get to about the two minute mark, start watching the pink metronome on the far right, second from the front.

  • The guy doing this experiment has all the metronomes on a flexible board so that there can be movement, and that’s what is making it possible for the metronomes to begin “entraining.”

An NPR report on a study in which the heartbeats of choir members entrained as they sang:
