Abstract The default mode network (DMN) is a widely distributed, intrinsic brain network thought to play a crucial role in internally directed cognition. The present study employs stereo-EEG in 13 human patients, obtaining high resolution neural recordings across multiple canonical DMN regions during two processes that have been associated with creative thinking: spontaneous and divergent...
Abstract The default mode network (DMN) is a widely distributed, intrinsic brain network thought to play a crucial role in internally-directed cognition. It subserves self-referential thinking, recollection of the past, mind wandering, and creativity. Knowledge about the electrophysiology underlying DMN activity is scarce, due to the difficulty to simultaneously record from multiple distant...
