Imagination, the Brain’s Default Mode Network, and Imaginative Verbal Artifacts
The distinctive feature of imagination, therefore, rests on its capacity of creating new mental images by combining and modifying stored perceptual information in novel ways and by inserting this information in a subjective view of the world: hence it is related to his self-awareness. In other words, imagination is not simply the organization, iden... See more

The default mode network (DMN) is now believed to be where the neurological basis for the self is housed.

According to recent neuroscientific research, even when we’re ‘doing nothing’, our brains are still active. In particular, there’s a region of the brain called the ‘default mode network’ (DMN) that governs the strange places our absent minds go to. The DMN helps us to recall memories,7 to daydream and to imagine the future. And it becomes more acti

It’s a catalyst for wondering, and it’s also the place where you think about things that don’t have an explicit goal. When you’re making art, how you choose to express yourself comes in part from this network. The DMN is a filter for what you think is beautiful or not beautiful, memorable or not, meaningful

baseline, “resting” state—but don’t let the word fool you, because the brain isn’t at rest at all. Instead, it experiences tonic activity in what’s now known as the DMN, the default mode network: the posterior cingulate cortex, the adjacent precuneus, and the medial prefrontal cortex. This baseline activation suggests that the brain is constantly g

In recent years, neuroimaging has provided evidence to suggest that imagining the future relies on much of the same neural machinery as remembering the past. One hypothesis that such findings motivate is that memories must be reactivated in order to extract the information needed to “flesh out” detailed simulations. Indeed, if simulations involve t...
