MIT study shows the brain engages 24 networks while watching movies, adapting to scene complexity.

A study from MIT published in Neuron reveals that while watching movies, the human brain engages 24 different networks, adjusting its activity based on scene complexity. Challenging scenes activate executive control networks responsible for problem-solving, while simpler scenes utilize specialized regions for tasks like language processing. The research analyzed fMRI scans of 176 participants watching various films, paving the way for future studies on individual brain responses to movie content.
