To Predict The Future, The Brain Has Two Clocks - Neuroscience News

While UC Berkeley's Assaf Breska isn't getting anywhere near the touchy topic of presentiment, keen anomalists and loopers will find her latest findings to be of particular interest. Different parts of the brain keep their own time, yet remain in harmony, facilitating our awareness of the world to best anticipate the future. The locations of these clocks are in the more primal corners of the brain. How primal? Even Bee-Brained insects may apprehend jouissance in their own alien fashion. But wait, there's more as Lars Chittka weaves a rich tapestry concerning the inner lives of bumblebees and why consciousness exists in every living being. Heck, even artificial intelligences like Google's DeepMind demonstrate how To Make Sense Of The Present By Predicting The Future. Predict is such a weighted term, but we're happy to see Jordana Cepelewicz use it, when anticipate is far more apt. Even then, a machine with the capacity to anticipate may imply their own consciousness and mechanical inner lives rivalling our own. (CS)
