Inter-thinker consistency of language activations during abstract thoughts

2019-02-10

Abstract excerpt

Human brain imaging typically employs structured and controlled tasks to avoid variable and inconsistent activation patterns. Here we argue against this assumption by showing that an extremely open-ended, high level cognitive task-loosely defined as “abstract thinking” leads to a precise, and highly consistent activation maps. Thus we show that activation maps generated during such cognitive process were precisely...
