Do you find it difficult to decide what to order for dinner when you are in a restaurant? It could be due to disrupted information flow between two brain regions.
Neural Activity Predicts the Timing of Spontaneous Decisions: Study
Researchers have discovered a new type of brain activity that underlies the timing of voluntary actions, allowing them to forecast when a spontaneous decision will occur.
Researchers have discovered a new type of brain activity that underlies the timing of voluntary actions, allowing them to forecast when a spontaneous decision will occur.
The study participants had to make preference-based or purely sensory decisions about food. The investigators found that when information flow between the two brain regions was disrupted, the participants found it more difficult to state their preferences. They did not find evidence of any gender-specific effects in the experiments.
The findings were published in Nature Communications.
