<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">A remarkable characteristic of the human mind is its propensity to form thoughts and images that stretch beyond what is currently available to the senses. This capacity
 for imaginative cognition is undoubtedly adaptive, allowing us to construct mental models of possible futures, navigate our social world, and provide meaning to our lives. At the same time, however, imaginative thought can become a considerable source of distress,
 especially in â€œtask-free” contexts that offer little external stimulation. Recent years have seen an explosion of research into the neural underpinnings and phenomenological correlates of imagination, yet little is known about how imaginative thoughts unfold
 and transition over time. In this talk, I will attempt to overcome these gaps in our knowledge of imagination by 1) introducing a neurocognitive framework with which to understand the stability, flexibility and form of our mental lives, and 2) describing an
 ongoing line of research seeking to illuminate the dynamics of thought, with important implications for mental health.</span></p>
