TL;DR: This work has identified six widely distributed resting state networks and supports for the first time in humans the coalescence of several brain rhythms within large-scale brain networks as suggested by biophysical studies.

TL;DR: The evidence suggests that expert meditators control cognitive engagement in conscious processing of sensory-related, thought and emotion contents, by massive self-regulation of fronto-parietal and insular areas in the left hemisphere, in a meditation state-dependent fashion.

TL;DR: Findings show that activation of a visuotactile mirroring mechanism for touch observation might underpin an abstract notion of touch, whereas activation in SI might reflect a human tendency to resonate more with a present or assumed intentional touching agent.

TL;DR: A comprehensive method based on independent component analysis (ICA) for simultaneously removing BCG and ocular artifacts from the EEG recordings, as well as residual MRI contamination left by AAS, which performs significantly better than the AAS method in removing the BCG artifact.

TL;DR: A trial-by-trial EEG-fMRI correlation approach revealed that five large-scale brain networks are involved in target detection with different functional roles: the ventral attention network, dedicated to revealing salient stimuli, was transiently activated by the occurrence of targets; the dorsal Attention network, usually engaged during voluntary orienting, reflected sustained activity, possibly related to search for targets.
