Suzanne Dikker, a cognitive neuroscientist at New York University and Utrecht University and colleagues performed a study using portable EEG headsets to assess the prevalence of synchronicity among students and teachers in the classroom.  Findings from the study revealed that the more students were engaged with their teacher and fellow students, the more their brain wave patterns were in synch with one another. Factors that could influence engagement in the classroom included" - student’s social personality, - who they were around, - how focused the students were on a given day - and how much they enjoyed their teacher. The researchers concluded that the study is a promising new method to understand the environments in which each student's brain functions at it’s best. **Click the links below to read the full article and to view the published study.** [http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-sitting-through-same-class-gets-your-brains-same-wavelength-180963075/](http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-sitting-through-same-class-gets-your-brains-same-wavelength-180963075/) [http://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822(17)30411-6](http://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822(17)30411-6) ![Screen Shot 2017-08-14 at 1.07.56 PM.png](https://www.youthfit.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-14%20at%201.07.56%20PM.png?width=535&name=Screen%20Shot%202017-08-14%20at%201.07.56%20PM.png) Written by [Kidsfit Blog](https://www.youthfit.com/blog/author/kidsfit-blog) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/) [Google+](https://plus.google.com/+Blackstrokestech/about?rel=author?rel=author) [ Website](http://www.inboundminds.com/) [![](https://www.youthfit.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ABL%20Blue%20Logo-3.png?width=300&height=131&name=ABL%20Blue%20Logo-3.png)](https://www.kidsfit.com) Action Based Learning 315 Industrial Road Summerville, SC 29483 [Ph: 843](tel:843.336.5090).879.2201 [E: customerservice@kidsfit.com](mailto:customerservice@kidsfit.com) ##### ABL SCIENTIFIC UPDATES ### Recent Posts ##### Connect - [Who We Are ](https://www.youthfit.com/who-we-are-1) - [Upcoming Trainings](https://www.youthfit.com/kinesthetic-classroom-training) - [Inspiration Gallery](https://www.youthfit.com/blog/resources/funding-resources-/kc-locations-0) - [Blog](https://www.youthfit.com/blog) - [Contact Us](https://www.youthfit.com/contact-us-faq) ##### Help [Warranty, Returns, Service](https://www.youthfit.com/return-policy) [Employee Login](https://www.youthfit.com/employee-access1) [Attendee Login](https://www.youthfit.com/ablfamily) ##### STAY IN THE LOOP ### Social Sharing - [**Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Kidsfit-205333037181/) - [**Twitter](https://twitter.com/kidsfit_abl) - [**Linked-in](http://t.sidekickopen06.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs3MPnzYW3MhxZd7gs9r8W3LPXXH56dTQzf8S52CW02?t=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fkidsfit&si=5639761833754624&pi=b77c184c-62d8-436f-c0d2-4310ae99bc4a) - [**Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/actionbasedlearning/) - [**Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/kidsfit/) ![](https://www.youthfit.com/hs-fs/hubfs/01-Althea_New_Pages/up-arrow_2.png?width=64&height=64&name=up-arrow_2.png "up-arrow_2.png") [Our Mission](https://www.youthfit.com/blog/do-students-brains-synch-up-in-the-classroom#) Copyright © 2018 Action Based Learning.
