Increased activity in the nucleus accumbens forecasted an increase in stock price within the next day, whereas increased activity in the anterior insular was predictive of whether a stock price would flip or change direction. Read More
A dynamic interplay of different brainwave frequencies, not dedicated networks, governs how the brain acts to a novel surprise and downplays predictable stimuli. Read More
The anterior cingulate cortex plays a key role in how the brain can simulate the results of different actions and make the best decisions. Read More
Time feels longer when experiencing it, and the amount of reward is devalued when it is delayed, a new study on impatience in humans reveals. Read More
Understanding how the brain decides what it should pay attention to is key to understanding how prediction plays a tole in autism. Read More
Exposing subjects to music composed in an unfamiliar scale, researchers test whether reward can be derived solely from newly formed predictions. Read More
When intense feelings of prediction accompanied deja vu, they were strongly correlated with feelings of postdiction. High degrees of familiarity that accompany deja vu also carry through to postdictive bias. Read More
Researchers report there are two distinct ways in which we make temporal predictions, and these rely on different parts of the brain. The findings offer a new perspective on how humans calculate when to make a move. Read More
Researchers report the brain is not only able to anticipate the conclusion of sentences, it can also anticipate an auditory stimulus and determine the phonemes or specific words a speaker is going to pronounce. Read More
Researchers consider how math and machine learning can help predict human behavior. Read More
An fMRI study conducted by University of Glasgow researchers reveals how our brains can predict what our eyes will see next. Read More
Researchers propose a new framework to help explain how the brain is able to make predictions. Read More
