ScientificBlogging covers some fun experiments that involve hooking musicians up to EEG machines, letting them rock out together and watching their brainwaves fall into the same pattern:
The research details how EEG readouts from pairs of guitarists become more synchronized, a finding with wider potential implications for how our brains interact when we do.
Ulman Lindenberger, Viktor Müller, and Shu-Chen Li from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin along with Walter Gruber from the University of Salzburg used electroencephalography (EEG) to record the brain electrical activity in eight pairs of guitarists.

“Our findings show that interpersonally coordinated actions are preceded and accompanied by between-brain oscillatory couplings,” says Ulman Lindenberger.
Between-Brain Oscillatory Couplings?
Duuuude.
