Don't lose hope. Just remember this is what you are trained to do and keep the faith in the scientific process.

If everyone could please just stop listening to the Natural Philosophers on #spotify. I would really appreciate it - it's just too loud in here and we are trying to sleep.

Just so you all know exactly what not to listen to here is the link. So don't click here 👇

So this architecture helps explain the DMN role in both action and decoupled states. It's role in actions comes from the peripheries interactions with the rest of the brain, helping situate action in a broader setting. Decoupled states like mind-wandering happen when the core does it's own thing 😎

Casey's paper is important because it shows the architecture solves this problem. She discovered that the DMN contains a peripheral system which communicates with other neural systems (including sensory systems) and a core that communicates with the DMN but is insulted from the rest of the brain.

So the real question is: What allows the DMN to be involved in both task relevant action, when we must guide our behaviour using memory, and decoupled states like those that occur when our minds wander. We suspect to it is linked to it's location

Some context. Raichle discovered the default mode network at rest where cognition is often decoupled from the outside world. This is why people often argue the DMN is for states like daydreaming and so antagonistic to action (see recent theory paper by @ndosenbach.bsky.social on action mode system)

This distinction explain the DMN involvement in antagonistic states. The peripheries interactions with the rest of the brain supports the DMN role in memory guided actions. Perceptually decoupled states (like mind-wandering or daydreaming) depend upon the insulated core doing it's own thing 😎

Will science ever recover?

So our crazy idea seems to work! We can overcome a fundamental problem with measuring conscious experience in movies because we can relate descriptions of experiential dynamics to changes in brain activity without disrupting the dynamics of brain activity.
