“BiblioBlitz” garner 2nd place at Island Science Fair

On May 5, 2018, we participated in the 40th Islandwide Science Fair at University Guam. We acquired a second place finish in the human medical division consisting of about 20 students. Our topic was about neuroforecasting, a study by Stanford University. This concept explores whether brain activity can be used not only to predict the choices of individuals, but also of separate groups of individuals in the future (e.g., in markets). It is parallel to Marie Laure Ryan’s theory that if a person finds an information that is significant, he/she will use it to figure out what will happen next in the story. It varies from different types of readers and our goal is to figure out which type of reader formulates better plots. This utilizes a certain part of the brain called the parietal cortex. Neuroforecasting is beneficial to our future especially in the fields of psychology and law as professionals can use it to better examine behavioral patterns of individuals.
