AI Brain Response Mimics Wins During Near-Misses
New research indicates that the brain processes 'near-misses' on slot machines differently depending on gambling pathology. While both addicted and non-addicted gamblers perceive near-misses as wins, neurological data shows that non-pathological gamblers activate the same brain regions for losses as they do for near-misses. This finding provides insight into the neurological mechanics of gambling addiction.
