The Scans and Consciousness

Josipovic's research focuses on consciousness and the brain. He explores differences between the brain activity of a person who meditates and the brain activity of one who doesn't. His research on the "Influence of Meditation on Anti-Correlated Networks in the Brain" explores the effects of different types of meditation on the global organization of large-scale intrinsic (default) and extrinsic (task-positive) networks in the brain.



Although Josipovic has not yet had a chance to analyze the data used in the 2011 concert, he suggests that one way to analyze them would be to listen for changes in functional connectivity between different nodes of the extrinsic and intrinsic networks (2012)

Studies have shown that we process and respond to our own faces differently than to the faces of others, but none of these studies have been conducted using Da Prato's style of portraiture or Lloyd's sonification analysis. This data may have implications for our understanding of the mirror neuron system, and might be used to confirm or complicate V.S. Ramachandran's suggestion that mirror neurons play a role in self-awareness and the development of the self by allowing us to see ourselves as though someone else is looking at us (2007).
