Researchers reveal how brain flexibly processes complex information ANI | Updated: Apr 29, 2021 22:43 IST 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. Driving a car, deliberating over different financial options, or even pondering different life paths requires us to process an overwhelming amount of information.
