Movie-watching is a central aspect of our lives and an important paradigm for understanding the brain mechanisms behind cognition as it occurs in daily life. Contemporary views ongoing thought argue that ability to make sense events ‘here now’ depend on neural processing incoming sensory information by auditory visual cortex, which are kept check systems association cortex. However, we currently lack how patterns thoughts map onto different when watch film, partly because methods sampling...
Psychological states influence our happiness and productivity; however, estimates of their impact have historically been assumed to be limited by the accuracy with which introspection can quantify them. Over last two decades, studies shown that introspective descriptions psychological correlate objective indicators cognition, including task performance metrics brain function, using techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Such evidence suggests it may possible mapping...
The goal of psychological research is to understand behaviour in daily life. Although lab studies provide the control necessary identify mechanisms behind behaviour, how these controlled situations generalise activities life remains unclear. Experience sampling provides useful descriptions thought and real world current study examined patterns generated by multi-dimensional experience (mDES) across both situations. We combined data from five published generate a common thought-space using...

Modern society is structured around a seven-day week that shapes the lives of its members, yet we know little about impact on conscious experiences in day-to-day life. To understand if weekly rhythms influence our thoughts and feelings, collected approximately 15,000 descriptions peoples’ daily life using smartphones two countries (Canada United Kingdom). We found task-related had greater detail during working hours weekdays but not weekends, while more distracting emerged earlier day than...

The thoughts we experience in daily life have important implications for our health and well-being. However, it is often difficult to measure patterns outside of laboratory conditions due concerns about the voracity measurements taken controlled conditions. To address this gap literature, study set out thought as they occur assess robustness these measures their associations with traits A sample undergraduate participants completed multi-dimensional sampling (mDES) surveys eight times per...

Abstract Previous research has indicated that health and well-being are impacted on by both the way we think, things do. In laboratory, studies suggest specific task contexts affect this process because people with, places in, activities perform may influence our thought patterns. study participants completed multi-dimensional experience-sampling surveys eight times per day for 5 days to generate data across a variety of dimensions in daily life. Principal component analysis was used...
Complex macro-scale patterns of brain activity that emerge during periods wakeful rest provide insight into the organisation neural function, how these differentiate individuals based on their traits, and basis different types self-generated thoughts. Although is valuable for understanding important features human cognition, its unconstrained nature makes it difficult to disentangle related personality traits from those thoughts occurring at rest. Our study builds recent perspectives work...
