How your brain can predict the future

Author: Mike Colagrossi / Source: Big Think

  • Two systems work together to predict the future based on past actions or events stored in the brain.
  • Researchers worked with people with Parkinson’s disease or cerebellar degeneration to test their hypothesis.
  • Researchers compared how people with these conditions used temporal clues respond to specific tests.

The brain uses many complex mechanisms for both timing and predicational actions. Scientists have found that we anticipate times and events within two distinct parts of the brain. Whether you’re interacting with a familiar stimulus like the push of the gas pedal before the light turns green or preemptively bobbing your head to a popular song, your brain is interacting with both the past and an inferred future to make a decision or thought.

New research out of UC Berkeley supports the notion that these different ways of keeping time are split within the brain. Assaf Breska, lead researcher and postdoctoral researcher from UC Berkeley, says:

“Whether it’s sports, music, speech or even allocating attention, our study suggests that timing is not a unified process, but that there are two distinct ways in which we make temporal predictions and these depend on different parts of the brain.”

The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science journal.

These two systems together help us to both live in the present and anticipate what’s to come.

How your brain predicts future events through anticipatory timing

Researchers studied how anticipatory timing differed between people with Parkinson’s disease and cerebellar degeneration

Two types of timing were of concern to them: rhythmic…
