Stock Market Experiments Using Intuition!
Brain regions that activated could immediately be rec-ognized as those involved in ToM thinking (Gallagher and Frith (2003) list the regions). The most important of these is the medial paracingulate cortex, a region in the middle of the forebrain, high above the eyes. Figure 1 displays a medial cross section of a typical human brain, from front(left-hand side) to back, onto which the significant differential activation in the paracingulate cortex is mapped (small squares; changes from dark to light correlate with increases in significance level). The localization is based on arandom effects analysis of the 18 subjects' fMRI signals. Details can be found in the Internet Appendix. Surprisingly (although this finding is corroborated in the behavioral experi-ment below), brain regions known to be involved in formal mathematical and logical thinking were no more activated when insiders were present than when they were not. Thus, thinking about markets when there are insiders appears to be an unequivocal ToM occupation. Thesebrainactivationpatternsprompte PAGE 1709 |

That region is the third eye or the area associated with paranormal experiences, etc.
It is a PDF,and does waffle on a bit, but they also conducted a lot of logical experiments to see if people really can predict outcomes while not using math of their subconscious.
I got half way, but the above statements got my attention.
Definitely leaning towards using intuition alone to predict outcomes! :p
