All animals can predict the hedonic consequences of events they've experienced before. But
humans can predict the hedonic consequences of events they've never experienced by
simulating those events in their minds. Scientists are beginning to understand how the brain
simulates future events, how it uses those simulations to predict an event's hedonic
consequences, and why these predictions so often go awry.
