Predicting the unpredictable: critical analysis and practical implications of predictive anticipatory activity.

abstract：:The attention of drug-dependent persons tends to be captured by stimuli associated with drug consumption. This involuntary cognitive process is considered as attentional bias (AB). AB has been hypothesized to have causal effects on drug abuse and drug relapse, but its underlying neural mechanisms are still unclear. Th...
