The scans showed that the listeners' brain patterns tracked those of the storyteller almost exactly, though trailed 1 to 3 seconds behind. But in some listeners, brain patterns even preceded those of the storyteller.
"We found that the participants' brains became intimately coupled during the course of the 'conversation', with the responses in the listener's brain mirroring those in the speaker's," says Uri Hasson of Princeton University.

That's a very interesting article! I remember once being told that when a teacher is speaking to a class and the children are attending closely, the teacher should take care, because she can affect the thinking of the children at a deep level of consciousness.
If the teacher is good then there is no reason for concern.
