ABSTRACT
A fundamental aspect of human experience is that it segmented into discrete events. This may be underpinned by transitions between distinct neural states. Using an innovative data-driven state segmentation method, we investigate how states are organized across the cortical hierarchy and where in cortex boundaries perceived event overlap. Our results show a temporal hierarchy, with short primary sensory regions, long lateral medial prefrontal cortex. State shared within groups brain regions resemble well-known functional networks. Perceived overlap large parts particularly when those demarcate strong transition or regions. Taken together, these findings suggest partially nested forms basis segmentation.
