New Research in Neuroscience
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to take clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) applies this technology to chart blood flow to various parts of the brain.
fMRI has been held up as a breakthrough technology for better understanding brain function. Although the technology is still in the early phases of development, it paves the way for applications that until now have only been the stuff of science fiction. Recent examples include . . .
Researchers at the University of Sheffield in England believe that fMRI is more useful than polygraphs in determining whether someone is lying.
Research by neuroscientists at UCLA and Rutgers University provides evidence that fMRI can be used in certain circumstances to determine what a person is thinking.
Cambridge University researchers have discovered that whether someone is a “people-person” may depend on the structure of their brain: the greater the concentration of brain tissue in certain parts of the brain, the more likely they are to be warm and empathetic.
Scientists have discovered they can "read" whether a person just heard words spoken in anger, joy, relief, or sadness. The discovery, reported in Current Biology, is the first to show that emotions are represented by distinct spatial signatures in the brain that can be generalized across speakers.
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have compiled the first-ever review of the neurobiology of wisdom - once the sole province of religion and philosophy.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania say they have brain images that prove male and female brains work differently under stress. Men responded with increased blood flow to the right prefrontal cortex, responsible for "fight or flight." Women had increased blood flow to the limbic system, which is associated with a more nurturing and friendly response.
Neuroleadership is the study of leadership through the lens of neuroscience. Soon we will have a neurological theory for the art of influencing people and for the “soft skills” of leadership.
