Researchers reveal how the brain may adapt to processing complex information
Human decision-making depends on the flexible processing of complex information, but how the brain may adapt processing to momentary task demands has remained unclear. In a new article published in the journal
Nature Communications, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development have now outlined several crucial neural processes revealing that our brain networks may rapidly and flexibly shift from a rhythmic to a noisy state when the need to process information increases.
Driving a car, deliberating over different financial options, or even pondering different life paths requires us to process an overwhelming amount of information. But not all decisions pose equal demands. In some situations, decisions are easier because we already know which pieces of information are relevant.

Berlin [Germany], April 29 (ANI): Human decision-making depends on the flexible processing of complex information, but how the brain may adapt processing to momentary task demands has remained unclear.
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development have now outlined several crucial neural processes revealing that our brain networks may rapidly and flexibly shift from a rhythmic to a noisy state when the need to process information increases.
The study was published in the journal Nature Communications.

MARTLESHAM, England, April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Muhdo will be partnering with Ageing Research at King s College London (ARK), embarking on collaborative research around health, lifestyle through innovative data sciences.
This year we will be focusing on how artificial intelligence (AI) can help us to better understand the value of health and lifestyle data for both the end consumer as well as helping to guide the research to enhance healthy longevity.
The gap between life and health expectancy is growing larger every year. Our health and lifestyle needs are also changing, and more research is required to reduce the risk of preventable ageing-related diseases to improve physical and mental wellbeing throughout the life course.
