Scientists have created the most detailed functional brain map ever, and they did it by scanning brains as they watched movies.
What goes on in your brain while watching a movie? MIT neuroscientists have made remarkable progress in answering this question by creating the most detailed functional brain map to date. By observing how brains react to movie scenes, they’ve unlocked new insights into the intricate networks driving our sensory and cognitive experiences.
This perfectly illustrates how our brains adapt to the ever-changing demands of storytelling. Further, the study used to create this functional brain map stands out from others conducted in the past. That is thanks to the usage of 'naturalistic conditions' instead of the traditional resting-state fMRI, which examines brain activity when participants aren’t exposed to external stimuli.
