What is it about?
It deals with the so called Physiological Anticipation Responses, that is how our neuro and psychophysiology change its activity even before the presentation of stimuli that in principle are non predictable from a statistical point of view.

Why is it important?
It is relevant because it demonstrate that our body and brain have a sort of innate "intuition" about what is about to happen in order to enhance our readiness to react properly to the environment.
Perspectives
These Physiological Anticipation Responses, can be exploited to devise Decision Support Systems in condition of complete unpredictability of future events, e.g. car accident, see for example Duma, G. M., Mento, G., Manari, T., Martinelli, M., & Tressoldi, P. (2017). Driving with intuition: a preregistered study about the EEG anticipation of simulated random car accidents. PloS one, 12(1), e0170370.
