As you walk in one place, you will see that the floor is covered with ice in the last minute, even if your brain tries to prevent you from taking the last step, you can not succeed and fall in that short time. Why is it so?
According to a new study conducted by neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins University and published in the Neuron magazine, it takes only a few milliseconds to go through the changes in our minds and stop our movements after the first frontal signal sent by our brain. Although this time seems to be quite short, we can make many mistakes. Previously, scientists thought that only one area of the brain was active when people were trying to change their minds, but now you realize that stopping yourself in this way requires a quick choreography between several different regions of your brain and that the chareography is getting harder as you get older.
Senior writer Susan Courtney tells us that three areas of the brain must communicate successfully for our stop. Kitty Z. X, the first writer of the work, explains the situation as the traffic light turns yellow while traveling towards the roundabout. The brain decides to speed up and you realize that a police vehicle is watching you as soon as possible and you want to brake but it is too late.
