many of the quant-ities related to suffering are based on perceptions and similar uncertain infer-ences. The uncertainty will necessarily increase frustration since it means the predictions of reward often go wrong . More fundamentally, the computed reward loss can be uncertain, even illusory .

At IDFA DocLab in November 2023, MIT researchers explored how the
different forms of possible embodiment were being used by artists, and how
they had impact on audience experience and understanding. We wanted to
understand what strategies and tools artists are using, how these projects
are being received by audiences, and whether the knowledge communicated
or experience delivered is distinct from that shared by more traditional forms
of flat screen media.

The precuneus is involved in mental imagery concerning the self, episodic memory, and modeling other people’s views—all of which are main components of the DMN. Benedek and Jauk, psychologists specializing in research on creativity, note that “higher creativity is consistently associated with higher gray matter density in DMN regions, especially th...

Joseph Carroll • Imagination, the Brain’s Default Mode Network, and Imaginative Verbal Artifacts
the default network consists of regions that, in the absence of exteroceptive [externally oriented] attention or narrowly focused mental effort, support self-directed concerns, immersion in one’s inner life (e.g., daydreaming) or imagining the inner life of others (Theory of Mind)
Joseph Carroll • Imagination, the Brain’s Default Mode Network, and Imaginative Verbal Artifacts
the imagination is a neurological reality, that it is lodged in specific parts of the brain, that it consists of an identifiable set of components and processes, that these components and processes have adaptive functions, and that in fulfilling its functions imagination has been a major causal factor in making Homo sapiens the dominant species on ...

Joseph Carroll • 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
Luigi F Agnati • The Neurobiology of Imagination: Possible Role of Interaction-Dominant Dynamics and Default Mode Network
Particularly relevant to the idea of episodic simulation is the process of forming “implementation intentions” (Gollwitzer, 1999) which involve imagining and rehearsing a plan with reference to the specific future context in which it will be executed. Research has shown that creating implementation intentions significantly increases the likelihood ... See more
