Expectations Can Minimize Unethical Behavior in the Powerful
Focusing the powerful to think about how they should behave may serve as a potential form of “preventative medicine” against the abuse of power.
What Neuroscience Says About Free Will
We press snooze on the alarm clock, we pick a shirt out of the closet, we reach for a beer in the fridge. In each case, we conceive of ourselves as free agents, consciously guiding our bodies in purposeful ways. But what does science have to say about the true source of this experience?
The Voice of Confidence -- How Listeners Decode a "Feeling of Knowing"
Vocal confidence can be used as a signal of one’s persuasiveness, expertise, and trustworthiness. New research investigates how the human voice can encode a speaker’s feeling of knowing, and how the human brain has evolved the ability to decode this complex mental state.
