Exploring the Links between Neuroscience and Foresight

摘要


This paper explores the connections between neurology and foresight in a cross-disciplinary discussion of how humans are able to imagine possible futures. Episodic foresight is identified as the primary neural mechanism that enables humans to construct images of the futures, providing explanatory power to further define and understand the processes that are invoked in futures studies and foresight activities. A top-level framework for making explicit these processes is provided, identifying brain functions, openness to experience and temporal preferences as the primary processes that inform construction of new images. The paper provides a new perspective on the design of Futures Studies and Foresight processes and deepens our understanding of the nature of those processes.
