When Dogs and Humans Connect, So Do Their Brainwaves - Neuroscience News

According to the binding problem in neuroscience, if you synchronize different parts of the brain, you get a single consciousness bound together. So following the idea’s logic: if you synchronized different people, what do you get? Is it not at least imaginable you could get some sort of experience that goes beyond any individual person’s conscious
