Movie viewing elicits rich and reliable brain state dynamics

J. N. V. D. Meer, M. Breakspear, et al.

Discover how our brain's state dynamics elegantly shift from resting modes to intricate patterns during movie viewing, aligning with what we see and feel. This fascinating research by Johan N. van der Meer, Michael Breakspear, Luke J. Chang, Saurabh Sonkusare, and Luca Cocchi offers insights into the remarkable interplay between perception and brain function.

Abstract

Adaptive brain function integrates sensory impressions with intrinsic brain activity. While dynamic brain state switches are well-characterized in resting states, their remodeling by naturalistic stimuli is poorly understood. This study shows that fMRI-measured brain state dynamics reshape from bistable transitions at rest to a sequence of well-defined states during movie viewing, temporally aligned to movie features. These brain states covary with physiological states and subjective engagement. Data-driven decoding reveals distinct reshaping of functional network expression and reliable state transitions accompanying the shift from rest to perceptual immersion.
