Have you noticed how similar you are to your friends? It may be because your brains operate in harmony with each other. We know that friends are more likely to be the same age, gender, and ethnic background as each other. Now, it seems their brains are alike too. Researchers at the University of California scanned the brains of 42 classmates while they watched videos intended to provoke varying responses. Some people might find the romantic scene touching, for instance, while others would feel it was embarrassing. The activity of friends' brains was more similar than that of people who didn't know each other, particularly in regions involved in attention, emotion, and language. This similarity was strong enough that it could be used to predict whether two people were already friends or not. The relationship probably goes two ways: we are drawn to people who think like us, and we then influence their thoughts over time, which may push their brain activity into more closely resembling our own.
你有沒有注意到你和你的朋友有多么相似？這可能是因為你們的大腦運作和諧。我們知道，朋友更可能是同齡、同性別和同種族背景的。現(xiàn)在，似乎他們的大腦也很相似。加州大學的研究人員掃描了42名同學的大腦，當時他們正在觀看旨在引發(fā)不同反應(yīng)的視頻。例如，有些人可能會覺得浪漫的場景很感人，而另一些人則會覺得它很尷尬。朋友之間的大腦活動比不認識的人更為相似，特別是在涉及注意力、情感和語言的區(qū)域。這種相似性足夠強烈，可以用來預(yù)測兩個人是否已經(jīng)是朋友。這種關(guān)系可能是雙向的：我們被想法相似的人所吸引，然后隨著時間的推移影響他們的想法，這可能使他們的大腦活動更接近于我們自己的大腦活動。
