How your brain predicts the future

from Chicago Brain Buddies Hosted by Aaron Freeman

New research reveals that human brains can predict sounds before they are spoken. A study of the auditory cortex shows that experimental subjects shown pictures have activation of their auditory cortices related to the specific sounds related to those images. In this Chicago Brain Buddies episode UChicago neuroscience Professor Peggy Mason & Chicago Council for Science and Technology Comedian Aaron Freeman joke about and explore the audio prognostications of our gray matter and what it may mean for medical science.
