Hey, it's Flora, and you're listening to Science Friday.

Today we're revisiting this conversation that I think about all the time.
voice-verified
It's about a musical mystery, and I hope you enjoy it.
voice-verified
Welcome, this is a farmhouse.
voice-verified
If you don't recognize the tune because you're too young or too old or too cool, no worries, man.
voice-verified
It's Farmhouse by the band Phish.
voice-verified
And tens of millions have streamed it and countless others have vibed to it during the band's legendary live shows.
voice-verified
Fish has toured for over 40 years, and one of the draws of their performances, which can go on for many hours, are finding these moments of flow.
voice-verified
That feeling of being locked in or in the zone.
voice-verified
Musicians and artists talk about it.
voice-verified
Athletes do, too.
voice-verified
You've probably experienced it.
voice-verified
For Fish, it's when the band members sync up in an improvised jam and find new musical ideas in real time.
voice-verified
Fish fans live for these transcendent moments, but so do Fish's musicians.
voice-verified
The band is flow-seeking and flow-obsessed, to the point that Mike Gordon, the band's bassist, is funding scientific research to better understand flow state.
voice-verified
Mike is here to tell us about this work, along with his research collaborator, neuroscientist Dr. Greg Appelbaum from the University of California, San Diego.
voice-verified
Great to have you both here.
voice-verified
Okay, Mike, when you and the band talk about flow state, is that the language that you use?
