The rapid and coordinated propagation of neural activity across the brain provides the
foundation for complex behavior and cognition. Technical advances across neuroscience …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) enables non-invasive access to the awake,
behaving human brain. By tracking whole-brain signals across a diverse range of cognitive …

Brains at rest generate dynamical activity that is highly structured in space and time. We
suggest that spontaneous activity, as in rest or dreaming, underlies top-down dynamics of …

The “Narratives” collection aggregates a variety of functional MRI datasets collected while
human subjects listened to naturalistic spoken stories. The current release includes 345 …

Neuroscientific studies exploring real-world dynamic perception often overlook the influence
of continuous changes in narrative content. In our research, we utilize machine learning …

Naturalistic stimuli such as movies, music, and spoken and written stories elicit strong
emotions and allow brain imaging of emotions in close-to-real-life conditions. Emotions are …

How we process ongoing experiences is shaped by our personal history, current needs, and
future goals. Consequently, ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) activity involved in …

Individuals generally form their unique memories from shared experiences, yet the neural
representational mechanisms underlying this subjectiveness of memory are poorly …

As we comprehend narratives, our attentional engagement fluctuates over time. Despite
theoretical conceptions of narrative engagement as emotion-laden attention, little empirical …

Despite receiving the same sensory input, opposing partisans often interpret political content
in disparate ways. Jointly analyzing controlled and naturalistic functional magnetic …
