Stories synchronise heart rate changes

In this episode, we discuss a paper from the Parra Lab, "Conscious processing of narrative stimuli synchronizes heart rate between individuals" by Perez et al. This paper highlights how conscious processing can synchronise heart range changes across individuals, and how patients with congnitive impairment do no exhibit the same synchronicity.

We also discuss zombies, electroencephalograms and the origins of this show's introduction music.
