wsoe so we see another little movie. imagine yourself in a scanner. you just to watch this one. just after a few secondsan you begin to get very bored because there is nothing happening. they are just these triangles float oing,ti ifdrng. doing nothing at all of interest. now because we have that contrast, we can look at the activity in the brain when you do this spontaneous mentallizing, as in the first case. and when you don't. and if you subtract the activity one from the other, we can show this in the brain. we can see these artificially blue coloured dots. this shows us where in the brain there is extra activity. and we show the spontaneous mentallizing, spontaneous attribution of mental states. you can see that there is a whole system, it's very active, and very importantly all the components are incredibly well connected with each o other. now you look at the image that has been obtained for an average, of an autistic group there are adults by the way, and you can see here much reduced activity in this mentallizing system and very o importantly, much weaker connections be
