We know that the imagination does not come to just one type (see “The four kinds of imagination and how they created our worlds“) And unexplained the same with all of us (see”The more imaginations reveal how our brains are aware“). But in recent years, Neuroscientists began to get a clearer understanding of how components of imaginary brain work.
Advance to scan the active brain – specific, function magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) – revealed that it is organized by many key network keys. Everyone shares the information within its network while continuing to settle others. It allows the brain to shift between different “modes” to think by choosing the right network for work nearby.
TOURNING FOR SPECIAL
There are three keys networks involved in our imaginations. The one in connection with such an accident in the late 1990s, if neuroscientists have noticed a separate pattern of participants in the scans between FMRI assignments between FMRI tasks.
Memory-related regions, the situation and self-reflection have become more active when participants are not occupied by a specific task, signing an internal state of mind. It is known as default mode network (DMN), and it is played if we allow …
