so far you’ve seen how your brain makes
split-second decisions regarding
attraction but as the years go by does
your brain retain that same spark or
does your level of Attraction diminish
over time we’ve brought in NYU cognitive
neuroscientist Susanna dicker she is
helping us run an experiment to try to
solve the mystery of long-term
attraction today we’ll be using the
emotive headsets to compare the
brainwaves of two people in real time
our brains contain a network of about 80
billion neurons that send information to
each other and to the rest of our body
Avaya tiny electrical signals whenever I
have an emotion when I’m talking to you
even when I move my arm
so when groups of neurons fire in sync
you can measure this on the scalp with
EEG and it’s these electrical patterns
that scientists refer to as brain waves
to determine if being in sync is the key
to lasting romance doctor dicker will
use these headsets to measure how many
times each couple achieves perfectly
matching brain waves and if their brains
are perfectly in sync there will be a
perfect overlap and their heads will
turn blue and their score will go up so
which pair of brains do you think will
make the best match will it be the
couple undergoing this experiment on
their first date revved up by the spark
of new attraction kind of scary putting
yourself out there or will it be our
newlyweds riding high on their first
year of marriage and I think I sort of
knew this was gonna be like it or will
our 25-year married couple be the most
in sync having spent two-and-a-half
decades together that’s one thing we do
Wow it’s fun is living the moment yeah
so which of these couples will be in
sync in which of these couples will be
sunk the answer just might surprise you
when we play sink or sunk
