The discovery of the default mode network (DMN) has revolutionized our understanding of
the workings of the human brain. Here, I review developments that led to the discovery of the …

Events make up much of our lived experience, and the perceptual mechanisms that
represent events in experience have pervasive effects on action control, language use, and …

Gradient mapping is an important technique to summarize high dimensional biological
features as low dimensional manifold representations in exploring brain structure-function …

In recent years, scientists have increasingly taken to investigate the predictive nature of
cognition. We argue that prediction relies on abstraction, and thus theories of predictive …

When and how do changes in self-concept emerge in adolescence, and which factors
facilitate positive self-concept development? This review summarizes recent research …

Although we perceive the world in a continuous manner, our experience is partitioned into
discrete events. However, to make sense of these events, they must be stitched together into …

Recent human behavioral and neuroimaging results suggest that people are selective in
when they encode and retrieve episodic memories. To explain these findings, we trained a …

The brain supports adaptive behavior by generating predictions, learning from errors, and
updating memories to incorporate new information. Prediction error, or surprise, triggers …

This paper integrates emerging evidence from two broad streams of scientific literature into
one common framework:(a) hierarchical gradients of functional connectivity that reflect the …

Understanding the origins of human social cognition is a central challenge in contemporary
science. In recent decades, the idea of a 'Theory of Mind'(ToM) has emerged as the most …
