Takeaway: Trying to match other people's movements (e.g., in a yoga class) is likely to enhance perceptual sensitivity to movement synchrony.

🔸 Estimating levels of synchrony in multi-person actions is challenging!
🔸 Estimation improves when people try the moves.
🔸 After trying the moves, people show differences in activation of the action observation network (AON) 🧠 that can be predicted by how well they estimate movement synchrony.

Picture this:
👀 Two synchronised divers somersault off a tower.
👁️ You notice that one diver is rotating a little slower.

How did you notice this?

Ever wondered why people-watching is so enjoyable? Is watching a single person different than watching a small group?

☺️ We hope the #openscience community enjoys our gentle reminder that promoting open science takes energy, but that sharing the 💜 of open science is worth it!

📚 We also compiled a list of resources for advocates (open science and beyond):

Our Zine (short for magazine) follows a young meerkat who learns about #openscience. Meerkat is overwhelmed by the number of awesome facts one can/should promote and experiences burnout. Then Meerkat learns strategies to continue advocating for #openscience in a sustainable way.
