Yeah right. All of those who have had brain scans please speak up.
The odds approach that of predicting a solar flare. Anything humanly "mental".

...maybe facing a charging bear, or a mountain lion, or a pcp-crazed maniac swinging a hatchet, or sliding uncontrollably on black ice going 60mph, or watching obama sign things, but a math problem? I don’t think so.

Interesting.
I think many of us have had the experience of being able to do something flawlessly when no one is watching, but then be utterly unable to do it as soon as there is an audience.
It’s not surprising that the brain scans show differing brain activity with the stress.

> A new study finds that activity in distinct parts of the brain can predict whether a person will remain cool or crumble under pressure.
Any special warfare instructor worth his salt can do the same prediction. It’s his job to separate those who will cave from those who are cool and calm under extreme stress.
