Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is the difference in BOLD signal in the experimental conditions (participant drums with the experimenter and they are in sychrony) compared to the condition where the experimenter drums out of phase (not in sychrony) with the participant. The comparison of (1) to (2) will reveal activation in brain regions that are responsible for creating music together with someone in synchrony, hypothetically reward areas. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We will assign our volunteers randomly in 2 groups before scanning (double blind). One group will have joint drumming with the experiment where the experimenter is in phase (synchronized) with the participant 70% of the experiment, whereas the experimenter will be in phase with the participants of the other group only 30% of the experiment. After the scanning we will investigate whether the joint drumming fosters prosocial behavior (altruism especially) by comparing the behaviors of these 2 groups with a behavioral test of pencil-dropping [van Baaren RB, Holland RW, Kawakami K, van Knippenberg A (2004) Mimicry and prosocial behavior.
