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.
Researchers propose a new framework to help explain how the brain is able to make predictions.
The brain constantly acts as a prediction machine, continuously comparing sensory information with internal predictions.
Understanding how the brain decides what it should pay attention to is key to understanding how prediction plays a tole in autism.
Findings suggest prediction may be a general feature of animal nervous systems in supporting quick behavioral changes.
A dynamic interplay of different brainwave frequencies, not dedicated networks, governs how the brain acts to a novel surprise and downplays predictable stimuli.
Study provides empirical evidence to show the brain's predictive ability forms the basis for musical phrasing.
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.
The anterior cingulate cortex plays a key role in how the brain can simulate the results of different actions and make the best decisions.
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.
An fMRI study conducted by University of Glasgow researchers reveals how our brains can predict what our eyes will see next.
Exposing subjects to music composed in an unfamiliar scale, researchers test whether reward can be derived solely from newly formed predictions.
