Physics study shows that sheep flocks alternate between temporal leaders, and achieve collective intelligence

"In this way, all group members take advantage of that knowledge. It is worth noting that this only works if all individuals follow the temporal leader without questioning."

Phys.org - Science confirms: to light up the dance floor, turn up the bass

New research confirms that more bass in music makes people dance more ... even when they can't *consciously* hear it or feel it. 🤯

"Science confirms: to light up the dance floor, turn up the bass" 🎶

"- undetected, the bass stimulates sensory systems in the body, such as the skin and the vestibular system—more commonly known as the inner ear." 🔊
