Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates how brain states influence subjective experiences during movie watching, suggesting deeper cognitive connections.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand how subjective experiences fluctuate and relate to changing neural states during movie watching.
  • Used an existing MRI dataset of participants watching movies while their brain activity was monitored.
  • Participants rated their subjective experiences continuously during the viewing of movie clips.
  • Analyzed the relationship between latent neural states and subjective experiences.
  • DMN occurrence was associated with higher engagement, arousal, external focus, and sociality.
  • DAN occurrence correlated with increased surprise and decreased boredom and social interaction.
  • SM state linked to low engagement and curiosity but high relatability and boredom.
