fluctuates alongside shifting arousal, effort, and resource allocation.•An information …

The ability to sustain attention differs across people and changes within a single person over
time. Although recent work has demonstrated that patterns of functional brain connectivity …

Neural substrates of “mind wandering” have been widely reported, yet experiments have
varied in their contexts and their definitions of this psychological phenomenon, limiting …

As we comprehend narratives, our attentional engagement fluctuates over time. Despite
theoretical conceptions of narrative engagement as emotion-laden attention, little empirical …

Cognition and attention arise from the adaptive coordination of neural systems in response
to external and internal demands. The low-dimensional latent subspace that underlies large …

Neuroimaging evidence suggests that the default mode network (DMN) exhibits antagonistic
activity with dorsal attention (DAN) and salience (SN) networks. Here we use human …

Mind wandering is a universal phenomenon in which our attention shifts away from the task
at hand toward task-unrelated thoughts. Despite it inherently involving a shift in mental set …

Aging is associated with declines in a host of cognitive functions, including attentional
control, inhibitory control, episodic memory, processing speed, and executive functioning …

In the search for brain markers of optimal attentional focus, the mainstream approach has
been to first define attentional states based on behavioral performance, and to subsequently …
