Our results suggest at least two different ways in which the brain has evolved to anticipate the future.
Go ahead and add ‘seeing the future’ to the growing list of amazing things your brain can do.
Well, almost, at least. According to new research from the University of California, Berkeley, it turns out that humans have the innate skill to somewhat predict or anticipate some things moments before they actually happen.

But with the help of data from a discontinued European satellite, scientists have now found that East Antarctica is in fact a graveyard of continental remnants. They have created stunning 3D maps of the southernmost continent’s tectonic underworld and found that the ice has been concealing wreckage of an ancient supercontinent’s spectacular destruction.
The researchers, led by Jörg Ebbing, a geophysicist at Kiel University in Germany, reported their discovery earlier this month in Scientific Reports.
