 Maia - Wikinfo   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Maia, in Greek mythology, is the eldest of the Pleiades, the seven daughters of Atlas and Pleione.
Maia was identified in Roman mythology with Maia Maiestas (also called Fauna, Bona Dea (the 'Good Goddess') and Ops), a goddess who may be equivalent to an old Italic goddess of spring.
Maia was associated with Vulcan, and on the first of May the flamen of that god sacrificed to her a pregnant sow, an appropriate sacrifice also for an earth goddess such as Bona Dea: a sow-shaped wafer might be substituted.

 Going against the grain
Maia's findings show that people in such situations may actually be making choices based on their knowledge of the situation in ways that researchers had previously overlooked.
With those findings in mind, Maia and his adviser, McClelland, set out to investigate whether it was indeed the case that, as Damasio and his colleagues argued, participants made advantageous decisions before figuring out the winning strategy in the Iowa Gambling Task.
Despite these caveats, the fact that participants in Maia's study showed knowledge of the advantageous strategy may point to a more important role for conscious knowledge in advantageous decision-making than has recently been recognized, which is in line with the credo "think before you act," Maia notes.
