Study shows that thinking hard about complex problems results in distinct facial muscle movement patterns
Psychology theories suggest that humans tend to primarily invest significant mental resources on problems that will reward them for their efforts. More specifically, they propose that before they start thinking in great depth about a problem, humans ponder on whether the benefits of solving it outweigh the "cost" in terms of required mental efforts.

Brain activity decoder can reveal stories in people's minds
A new artificial intelligence system called a semantic decoder can translate a person's brain activity—while listening to a story or silently imagining telling a story—into a continuous stream of text. The system developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin might help people who are mentally conscious yet unable to physically speak, such as those debilitated by strokes, to communicate intelligibly again.

Maternal antipathy in childhood is linked to aberrant brain reactions to social reward anticipation in adulthood, study finds
A neuroimaging study of adults with varying levels of adverse childhood experiences showed that participants reporting higher levels of maternal antipathy (in childhood) exhibited reduced activation in the brain reward network when they anticipated social rewards. Normally, activations in brain regions underlying reward processing are elevated when a person is anticipating social rewards. The study was published in Translational Psychiatry.
