• Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, neutral): “Remarkably, theory of mind seems to depend on a distinct and reliable group of brain regions, sometimes called the “mentalizing network” (e.g., Aichhorn et al., 2009; Saxe and Kanwisher, 2003), which includes regions in human superior temporal sulcus (STS), temporo-parietal junction (TPJ), medial…”

• fMRI item analysis in a theory of mind task (2011, background): “RTP, e.g., Aichhorn et al., 2009; Mitchell, 2008; Saxe and Kanwisher, 2003; Saxe and Powell, 2006; Saxe and Wexler, 2005) showed significantly higher responses to BELIEF than PHOTO stories, in itemwise whole brain random effects and in ROI analyses.”
• The brain’s conversation with itself: neural substrates of dialogic inner speech (2015, background): “Along with ToM, right TPJ has been proposed to play a role in managing divided attention and non– ToM-based perspective switching (Mitchell, 2008; Aichhorn et al., 2009), although there is debate as to whether these functions are subserved by the same or separable components of the TPJ (Scholz et…”
