...those studies, neurosurgical patients, wide awake with their cortex exposed, listened to certain sounds and music. While their neural activity was being recorded, they told researchers how those selections made them feel...
...names such as Britney Spears, George Clooney, Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe, those who were at the highest risk of developing Alzheimer's - those with both the genetic makeup and a family history - showed high levels of activity in the hippocampus, posterior cingulate and regions of the frontal cortex, all areas involved in memory. The control group showed the opposite pattern. Their brains became more excited when they saw unfamiliar names, which included Irma Jacoby, Joyce O'Neil and Virginia Warfield...
...able to suss out certain brain activity associated with deception in study volunteers, its ability to do so in the larger population would be exceedingly limited - if not impossible. For one thing, the evidence for fMRI-based lie detection is still conflicted: Although past studies have associated prefrontal-cortex activity with lying, researchers have yet to reach a consensus, and Greene's latest findings suggest that activity in the prefrontal cortex may in fact represent truth-telling in some people. "There is a great deal of variation between the findings described, and, crucially, there is an absence of replication...
