Neuromagnetic activation dynamics of stimulus-locked processing during a naturalistic viewing

Abstract

Highlights• A time-locking analysis was employed in naturalistic stimuli paradigm.• Specific visual and auditory stimuli from the movie were mapped in brain space.• Motor b-suppression was evident in periods of watching hand manipulation.• Increased synchronization between core face-processing areas was found around 200 and 300ms in the face condition. • Naturalistic viewing paradigms provide a reliable approach for investigating brain dynamics.
