Along with predicting our future behaviors, brain scans can guess when we’re about to make a cognitive error, mis-processing a math problem because we’re thinking too hard. Like a dashboard widget watching your computer’s RAM, brain wave patterns can be used to detect when the brain is approaching its limits of processing power, according to new research.

The linguist G. K. Zipf discovered that the frequencies of words in a language are distributed according to a power-law. They fall into an L-shaped curve with a tall spine containing a large number of rare words (like deliquesce, kankedort, and apotropaic) and a long tail containing a small number of extremely common ones (like the, be, and of). In any corpus of language, a small number of the most common words account for a large proportion of word tokens. The physicist and psychologist Lewis F. Richardson discovered that the frequencies of wars between 1815 and 1952 are distributed according to a power-law.

In a new study, a team of physicists has used concepts from statistical physics to identify some characteristic behaviors of pre-bankrupt stocks that differ significantly from stocks that don't become bankrupt. The approach may eventually help investors forecast stock bankruptcies weeks or months in advance.

Researchers from Tel Aviv University, in collaboration with the Kiel Institute of World Economy in Germany, have developed a market "seismograph" — a new methodology that measures the interconnections between stock markets across the globe. It has the potential to serve as an early warning system and provide measures to manage and mitigate the spread of financial crisis.
