Brain Activity Can Predict Risky Decisions Before They Happen: Study
Get latest articles and stories on Health at LatestLY. Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the University of California, Berkeley have identified two neighbouring regions in the human brain that appear to compete when a person decides whether to take a risk, and found that their activity can predict the decision nearly half a second before it is made.

Monitoring brain activity can predict risky decisions before they're even made. Recent research by scientists from the University of California, San Francisco, and the University of California, Berkeley, suggests that the process by which the human brain makes risk-related decisions resembles a tug-of-war. The research team identified two adjacent areas in the orbitofrontal cortex that engage in a "battle" over whether to take a risk or err on t…
U.S. neurophysiologists found a brain area responsible for man's risky behavior, which is why they created a computer game of burglars.
