Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: A New Theory for What’s Happening in the Brain When Something Looks Familiar
A new theory suggests the brain understands the level of activation required from a sensory input and corrects for it, leaving behind a signal for familiarity.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: What Happens in the Brain When We Imagine the Future?
When we imagine the outcome of future events, two sub-networks of the brain become active. One of the sub-networks focuses on creating the new event in our imagination, the other evaluates whether the event is positive or negative.
