We hypothesized that spontaneous fluctuations in neuronal activity in cortical nodes of the DMN function to suppress or contain otherwise anarchic and unconstrained endogenous activity in limbic and paralimbic systems, while fluctuations in subordinate networks anti-correlated with the DMN predict and counter prediction errors induced by exogenous sensory input in sensory and visceral systems.
Gallup was the founder in 1935 of the American Institute of Public Opinion, which became famous when the institute correctly predicted that Franklin D. Roosevelt would defeat Alf Landon in the U.S. presidential election of 1936, despite the counter-predictions of other polls at that time.
Here's my counter-prediction: Obamacare will not unravel; liberalism will somehow avoid collapse, and a year or so from now Obamacare's initial hiccups will be long forgotten as just another overhyped story that tells us little about the trajectory of the most important piece of social policy enacted in more than four decades.
In fact, many said that business was down significantly from previous years — running counter to predictions that the stadium would be an economic generator in the Bronx neighborhood.
Counter to predictions regarding behavioral deficiency in sociosexual behaviors, F1 females were at least as proficient as F0 females for all behavioral measures.
The glowing reports run counter to predictions from the Westchester-Putnam Multiple Listing Service, worriedorried as recently as late January that the gyrations of the stock market might instill a degree of restraint among prospective home buyers.
These results ran counter to predictions regarding the socially restorative power of video games following a social ostracism episode, and offer insight into how social scenarios might foster expectations of entertainment media products.
These findings ran counter to predictions of theories which assume that only a single search template can be held in working memory at a time (see e.g. Huang & Pashler, 2007; Olivers, Peters, Houtkamp, & Roelfsema, 2011; van Moorselaar, Theeuwes, & Olivers, 2014).
The fact that the memorial benefits from delayed exercise were not also observed in the immediate exercise condition seemed to run counter to predictions of well-established consolidation theories (e.g., Redondo & Morris, 2011), and it was hypothesized that the neural processes immediately after encoding were already optimal for learning such that they could not be further enhanced via exercise.
Those forecasters who pull from the bag startlingly counter-intuitive predictions win cachet and kudos, while those who predict the blindingly obvious can expect to be back in the dole queue before very long.
