  title = {The default mode network: where the idiosyncratic self meets the shared social world.},
  abstract = {<p>The default mode network (DMN) is classically considered an {\textquoteright}intrinsic{\textquoteright} system, specializing in internally oriented cognitive processes such as daydreaming, reminiscing and future planning. In this Perspective, we suggest that the DMN is an active and dynamic {\textquoteright}sense-making{\textquoteright} network that integrates incoming extrinsic information with prior intrinsic information to form rich, context-dependent models of situations as they unfold over time. We review studies that relied on naturalistic stimuli, such as stories and movies, to demonstrate how an individual{\textquoteright}s DMN neural responses are influenced both by external information accumulated as events unfold over time and by the individual{\textquoteright}s idiosyncratic past memories and knowledge. The integration of extrinsic and intrinsic information over long timescales provides a space for negotiating a shared neural code, which is necessary for establishing shared meaning, shared communication tools, shared narratives and, above all, shared communities and social networks.</p>
