States of Mind: Characterizing the Neural Bases of Focus and Mind-wandering through Dynamic Functional Connectivity

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience October 25, 2016 Benjamin W. Mooneyham, Michael D. Mrazek, Alissa J. Mrazek et al. 95 citations

During tasks that require continuous engagement, the mind alternates between mental states of focused attention and mind-wandering. Existing research has assessed the functional connectivity of intrinsic brain networks underlying the experience and training of these mental states using "static" approaches that assess connectivity across an entire task. To disentangle the different functional...
