TL;DR: The data suggest that the sense of self may result from a specific kind of interaction between resting state activity and stimulus-induced activity, i.e., rest-stimulus interaction, within the midline regions.

TL;DR: The cerebral responses to patient's own name spoken by a familiar voice as measured by fMRI might be a useful tool to preclinically distinguish minimally conscious state–like cognitive processing in some patients behaviorally classified as vegetative.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a better understanding of the rest-stimulus interaction is likely to be crucial to the elucidation of the brain's contribution to mental states.

TL;DR: The 'resting state hypotheses' of AVH suggest that AVH may be traced back to abnormally elevated resting state activity in auditory cortex itself, abnormal modulation of the auditory cortex by anterior cortical midline regions as part of the default-mode network, and neural confusion between auditory cortical resting state changes and stimulus-induced activity.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the nonadditive interaction between spontaneous and evoked activity can be characterized by phase‐dependent effects of spontaneous activity, which is closely related to the degree of long‐range temporal correlations in spontaneous activity as indexed by both power‐law exponent and phase‐amplitude coupling.
