According to this news release, a team of neuroscientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (WUSTL) has discovered that it is possible to accurately predict if game players will succeed or fail by scanning their brains. Before starting the game, they scanned the volunteers with functional brain imaging and they found their future choices in 70 percent of the tests. The researchers conclude that "visual perception not only depends on the quality of sensory signals but also on the variability of internal signals." Read more for other details and references.
