Introduction: Toward an interdisciplinary science of spontaneous thought
Kieran C. R. Fox, Kalina Christoff
Enormous questions still loom for the emerging science of spontaneous thought: what, exactly, is spontaneous thought? Why does our brain engage in spontaneous forms of thinking, an…
The Neuroscience of Spontaneous Thought: An Evolving, Interdisciplinary Field
Jessica R. Andrews-Hanna, Zachary C. Irving, Kieran C. R. Fox +2
An often-overlooked characteristic of the human mind is its propensity to wander. Despite growing interest in the science of mind-wandering, most studies operationalize mind-wander…
Neural origins of self-generated thought: Insights from intracranial electrical stimulation and recordings in humans
Kieran C. R. Fox
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has begun to narrow down the neural correlates of self-generated forms of thought, with current evidence pointing toward central roles…
Neural correlates of self-generated imagery and cognition throughout the sleep cycle
Kieran C. R. Fox, Manesh Girn
Humans have been aware for thousands of years that sleep comes in many forms, accompanied by different kinds of mental content. We review the first-person report literature on the…
The multiplicity of memory enhancement: Practical and ethical implications of the diverse neural substrates underlying human memory systems
Kieran C. R. Fox, Nicholas S. Fitz, Peter B. Reiner
The neural basis of human memory is incredibly complex. We argue that the diversity of neural systems underlying various forms of memory suggests that any discussion of enhancing '…
The neurobiology of self-generated thought from cells to systems: Integrating evidence from lesion studies, human intracranial electrophysiology, neurochemistry, and neuroendocrinology
Kieran C. R. Fox, Jessica R. Andrews-Hanna, Kalina Christoff
Investigation of the neural basis of self-generated thought is moving beyond a simple identification with default network activation toward a more comprehensive view recognizing th…
Functional neuroimaging of psychedelic experience: An overview of psychological and neural effects and their relevance to research on creativity, daydreaming, and dreaming
Kieran C. R. Fox, Manesh Girn, Cameron C. Parro +1
Humans have employed an incredible variety of plant-derived substances over the millennia in order to alter consciousness and perception. Among the innumerable narcotics, analgesic…
Increasing cognitive-emotional flexibility with meditation and hypnosis: The cognitive neuroscience of de-automatization
Kieran C. R. Fox, Yoona Kang, Michael Lifshitz +1
Meditation and hypnosis both aim to facilitate cognitive-emotional flexibility, i.e., the "de-automatization" of thought and behavior. However, little research or theory has addres…
Functional neuroanatomy of meditation: A review and meta-analysis of 78 functional neuroimaging investigations
Kieran C. R. Fox, Matthew L. Dixon, Savannah Nijeboer +6
Meditation is a family of mental practices that encompasses a wide array of techniques employing distinctive mental strategies. We systematically reviewed 78 functional neuroimagin…
