TLDR
The results suggest that eyeblinks are actively involved in the process of attentional disengagement during a cognitive behavior by momentarily activating the default-mode network while deactivating the dorsal attention network.

A Review of Eye Gaze in Virtual Agents, Social Robotics and HCI: Behaviour Generation, User Interaction and Perception

TL;DR: In this article, a review article provides an overview of the efforts made on tackling this demanding task and discusses how these findings can be synthesized in computer graphics and can be utilized in the domains of Human-Robot Interaction and Human-Computer Interaction for allowing humans to interact with virtual agents and other artificial entities.

Different topological organization of human brain functional networks with eyes open versus eyes closed

TL;DR: The results may indicate that EO leads to a suppression of sensory modalities (other than visual) to allocate resources to exteroceptive processing, and the topological organization of human brain networks dynamically switches corresponding to the information processing modes as the authors open or close their eyes.

Ultra-slow Oscillations in fMRI and Resting-State Connectivity: Neuronal and Vascular Contributions and Technical Confounds

TL;DR: Significant confounds to estimates of functional connectivity arise from residual vasomotor activity as well as arteriole dynamics driven by self-generated movements and subcortical common modulatory inputs, which can lead to spurious functional connections.

Internally-directed cognition and mindfulness: An integrative perspective derived from predictive and reactive control systems theory

TL;DR: The predictive and reactive control systems (PARCS) theory as mentioned in this paper integrates competing theories of neural substrates of awareness by describing the default mode network (DMN) and anterior insula (AI) as parts of two different behavioral and homeostatic control systems.

Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain

TL;DR: Evidence for partially segregated networks of brain areas that carry out different attentional functions is reviewed, finding that one system is involved in preparing and applying goal-directed selection for stimuli and responses, and the other is specialized for the detection of behaviourally relevant stimuli.

A default mode of brain function.

TL;DR: A baseline state of the normal adult human brain in terms of the brain oxygen extraction fraction or OEF is identified, suggesting the existence of an organized, baseline default mode of brain function that is suspended during specific goal-directed behaviors.

The Brain's Default Network Anatomy, Function, and Relevance to Disease

TL;DR: Past observations are synthesized to provide strong evidence that the default network is a specific, anatomically defined brain system preferentially active when individuals are not focused on the external environment, and for understanding mental disorders including autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.

The human brain is intrinsically organized into dynamic, anticorrelated functional networks

TL;DR: It is suggested that both task-driven neuronal responses and behavior are reflections of this dynamic, ongoing, functional organization of the brain, featuring the presence of anticorrelated networks in the absence of overt task performance.

Wandering Minds: The Default Network and Stimulus-Independent Thought

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that mind-wandering is associated with activity in a default network of cortical regions that are active when the brain is “at rest” and individuals' reports of the tendency of their minds to wander were correlated with activity on this network.

How is the default mode network interacting with spontaneous blink behavior?

Spontaneous eyeblinks activate the default mode network, facilitating attentional disengagement by decreasing dorsal attention network activity, as observed during video viewing.

Do spontaneous blinks correlate with default mode network activity?

Yes, spontaneous blinks correlate with default mode network activity. They activate the default mode network while deactivating the dorsal attention network, aiding in attentional disengagement during cognitive tasks.

How is the default mode network interacting with spontaneous blink behavior?

Spontaneous eyeblinks activate the default-mode network, linked to internal processing, while deactivating the dorsal attention network, suggesting a role in attentional disengagement during cognitive tasks.
