Expectations Can Minimize Unethical Behavior in the Powerful

A business person stands in the bakground, thier hand up, as if refusing to accept a large amount of money that is visible in front of them.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

Blue image of a transparent brain with data points marked around the brain on black backgroundWe 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"

Woman stands at podium, presenting research to an small audience at a conferenceVocal 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.
