claimInformation integration occurs when information is processed in a network composed of both distributed and interdependent brain regions.
Self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-transcendence (S-ART) frontiersin.org 1 fact
claimMindfulness may facilitate context-appropriate switching between anticorrelated networks by utilizing the frontoparietal control network (FPCN) for executive control and information integration, rather than solely increasing experiential self-processing (EPS) or suppressing the narrative self (NS).
