Metaphor FAIL: "Neural Clairvoyance"
Caught this bad description of an otherwise very interesting study at Science Daily: Neuroscientists at Georgetown University Medical Center have, for the first time, shown what brain activity looks like when someone anticipates an action or sensory input which soon follows. In the February 25 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, they say this neural clairvoyance involves strong activity in areas of the brain responsible for preparing the body to move.
