Anderson et al. map brain activity during cued imagination with individual-level precision fMRI and show that imagined scenes and inner speech recruit distinct networks whose engagement tracks self-reported vividness. Overlap with perception was mainly in association networks, rather than nearby sensory networks, suggesting that transmodal brain systems support mental imagery.
** Recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher! **
We are seeking a postdoc to help examine how brain networks might change within individuals across transitional times, such as adolescence & pregnancy!

Our paper is out! This has been years in the making.
We found that mental imagery and perception do share a neural substrate, but we see it in in higher-order transmodal networks rather than earlier sensory systems. Check it out!

🚨 ðŸ§
We have a new preprint out where we studied which brain networks are engaged during mental imagery and self-generated thought.
We used a precision fMRI approach along with multidimensional experience sampling (mDES) to get trialwise self-reports from each participant about what they imagined.
