Key points The authors share an interest in how interdisciplinary approaches combining brain sciences with the social sciences and humanities can generate new research questions and methods for understanding pathological and non-pathological states of mind, particularly through resting-state paradigms and the default mode network. Alderson-Day has collaborated on experimental studies of inner experience during rest, while Callard argues that tracing the historical antecedents of resting-state research may reorient current scientific assumptions.

Abstract

Psychologist Ben Alderson-Day and geographer Felicity Callard share an interest in understanding how interdisciplinary approaches to the brain sciences that involve the social sciences and humanities can help open up new research questions and methods through which to understand pathological and non-pathological states of mind. Both have been interested in the fertility of resting-state research paradigms and the default mode network in this regard. Ben has collaborated on novel experimental investigations of inner experience during the resting state, and Felicity has focused on how tracing historical antecedents of resting-state research might reorient certain current scientific assumptions.
