Discovery of new brain rhythm

The following is a press release from Florida Atlantic University. Researchers were able to identify brain rhythms during social interactions. The press release gets technical in language. From what I can make of it, researchers are hoping to understand brain rhythms of “normal” brains during socialization. Hopin g that further study of autistic or schizophrenic brains will shed light on those conditions.

“The ground-breaking research by Dr. Scott Kelso and colleagues leading to the discovery of this new brain rhythm related to human social interactions opens up the potential to now understand how and why we as humans relate to each other the way we do,” said Dr. Larry F. Lemanski, vice president for research at FAU.
“Moreover, this exciting new finding may lead to a better understanding of and better diagnostic protocols for various neuropsychiatric disorders.”
