The Science of Empathy
Studies have shown that there is a shift in brain waves when two people touch or kiss each other. Neuroanatomical and neurophysiological findings of the resting brain state need to be mapped in order to gain a deeper understanding on how to control and adjust our autonomic nervous system to appreciate and have cognitive empathy towards others.

Research has shown that there is a shift in brain waves, such as alpha waves, in the neocortex when couples engaged in kissing or romantic speech, compared to control conditions like touching a pillow.

Summary
Research has shown that there is a shift in brain waves, such as alpha waves, in the neocortex when couples engaged in kissing or romantic speech, compared to control conditions like touching a pillow. These findings suggest that there is synchronization between the brain waves of romantic partners.

In neuroimaging studies, researchers discovered that people tend to select partners who have resting brain states different than theirs.

Summary
In neuroimaging studies, researchers discovered that people tend to select partners who have resting brain states different than theirs. This finding indicates the need to map the neuroanatomical and neurophysiological findings of individuals to determine their preferred partners accurately.
