Journal ArticleDOI

Delusions of alien control in the normal brain

TL;DR: It is suggested that, as a result of hypnotic suggestion, the functioning of this cerebellar-parietal network is altered so that self-produced actions are experienced as being external, which has implications for the brain mechanisms underlying delusions of control, which may be associated with overactivation of the cerebellary- parietal network.
Journal ArticleDOI

The development of social cognition in adolescence: An integrated perspective.

TL;DR: The development of social cognition, and the structural and functional changes in the social brain during adolescence, a period of life characterised by extensive changes in social behaviour and environments is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adolescent development of the neural circuitry for thinking about intentions

TL;DR: The results suggest that the neural strategy for thinking about intentions changes between adolescence and adulthood, with activity moving from anterior (medial prefrontal) regions to posterior (temporal) regions with age.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Detection of Contingency and Animacy from Simple Animations in the Human Brain

TL;DR: The results suggest that low-level perception of agency in terms of objects reacting to other objects at a distance is processed by parietal networks, and helps clarify neural networks previously associated with 'theory of mind' and agency detection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Semantic divergence and creative story generation: an fMRI investigation

TL;DR: Results support the notion that areas of the right prefrontal cortex are critical to the types of divergent semantic processing involved with creativity in this context, and also elucidate brain regions involved in increased creative effort.
