Quote of the Day
"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’ (I found it!) but ‘That’s funny …’"

Daily Science
An experiment conducted by researchers at Washington University, in Missouri, US, found that fluctuations in brain activity caused volunteers to subconsciously exert slightly less physical force when pressing a button on cue. Crucially, this activity is independent of any external stimulus and does not appear related to attention or anticipation.
The scientists involved say it is the first direct evidence that internal instabilities – so-called "spontaneous brain activity" – may play an important role in the variability of human behaviour.
