Describing Inner Experience?: Proponent Meets Skeptic (2006, background): “The striking biological phenomenon of suppression of areas involved in introspection during attention demanding tasks that don't involve social cognition (Goldberg, Harel, & Malach, 2006 ; Gusnard, 2001 ), and is best known by reference to the “default mode network” (Raichle et al, 2001 ).”
A Network Diffusion Model of Disease Progression in Dementia (2012, positive): “Degeneration of the orbito-frontal cortex was linked to disinhibited behavior, and the superior frontal gyrus has been associated with self-awareness (Goldberg et al., 2006).”
Flow, performance and moderators of challenge-skill balance (2008, result): “Recent support that flow is a psychologically meaningful state is reported in neurological work clearly indicating that brain structures related to self-reflective introspection were inhibited when task demand was high ( Goldberg et al. 2006 ).”
Two Distinct Neuronal Networks Mediate the Awareness of Environment and of Self (2011, background): “Although it has been suggested that the low-frequency fluctuations observed at resting state reflect nothing but vascular processes (Lamme, 2003), others support that they refer to conscious mentation (Goldberg et al., 2006).”
A Foundational Architecture for Artificial General Intelligence (2007, background): “Must an AGI agent come equipped with feelings? In humans, feelings include, for example, thirst and pain, as well as emotions5 such as fear or shame [67].”
Neural Substrates of Spontaneous Musical Performance: An fMRI Study of Jazz Improvisation (2008, result): “In this sense, activity of the MPFC during improvisation is also consistent with an emerging view that the region plays a role in the neural instantiation of self, organizing internally motivated, self-generated, and stimulus-independent behaviors [23–25].”
