21、emories of that day and turns them just a shade rosier.If the school year hasnt yet ended for you,consider what you can do to make the finale count.Why?Becausewhen it comes to human memory,not all moments are created equal.Instead,our remembered experiences aredisproportionately(不成比例地)influenced by
22、peaks(the best moments as well as the worst)and endings(the lastmoments).Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman,who discovered this phenomenon,called this the peak-end rule.It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint.I took advantage of t

28、to value the last moments of an experience.CAbat and a ball cost$1.10 in total.The bat costs$1.00 more than the ball.How much does the ball cost?If you answered 10 cents,youre not alone most people give the same answer(the correct answer is 5cents).Its an example of how we often rely on intuitive(直觉
29、的)responsesanswers we feel are true.People giveanswers that“pop into their mind,”says Steven Sloman.We dont spend much time“reflecting and checkingwhether the answer is right or wrong.”The bat and ball question helps explain why we often believe in fake news.It is part of human nature tobelieve,says

31、e volunteersto rate their own understanding of helium rain.Most volunteers rated themselves 1 out of 7,meaning they did notunderstand the concept.The researchers then told another group of volunteers about the discovery.This time,they said that scientistscould fully explain how it works.When asked t

40、us efforts to decode language have relied on sensors placed directly on the surface of the brain.Thesensors detect signals in areas involved in expressing words.But the Texas teams approach is an attempt to“decode more freeform thought,”says Marcel Just,a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon U
41、niversity.The new study came about as part of an effort to understand how the brain processes language.Researchershad three people spend up to16 hours each in a functional MRI scanner which detects signs of activity across thebrain.Participants wore headphones that streamed audio from the Internet.T
42、hose streams of words producedactivity all over the brain,not just in areas associated with speech and language.After participants listened to hoursof stories in the scanner,the MRI data was sent to a computer.It learned to match specific patterns of brain activitywith certain streams of words.Then
43、came a paraphrased version of what a participant heard.The MRI approach is currently slower and less accurate than an experimental communication system beingdeveloped for paralyzed people,where people get a sheet of electrical sensors implanted directly on the surface ofthe brain.With an MRI-based s
44、ystem,no one has to get surgery.But future versions of MRI scans could raise moral questions.“What if you can read out the word thatsomebody is just thinking in their head?Thats potentially a harmful thing.”Huth says.This technology cant reallyread minds uncontrollably,though.It only works when a pa
