Stimulating task unrelated thoughts: tDCS of prefrontal and parietal cortices leads to polarity specific increases in mind wandering.
TLDR
Findings support a causal role for the prefrontal cortex and inferior parietal lobule in mind wandering, one that is polarity specific.Citations

The restless mind
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that mind wandering shares many similarities with traditional notions of executive control, and can be seen as a goal-driven process, albeit one that is not directed toward the primary task.

Mind-wandering: mechanistic insights from lesion, tDCS, and iEEG
TL;DR: In this article , the authors use lesion, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) studies to investigate the causal relevance of brain regions, and provide insights into the neuronal mechanism underlying mind-wandering.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mitigation of the executive vigilance decrement via HD-tDCS over the right posterior parietal cortex and its association with neural oscillations.
TL;DR: In this article , anodal HD-tDCS specifically mitigated executive vigilance (EV) and reduced the alpha power increment across time-on-task while increasing the gamma power increment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intervention is a better predictor of tDCS mind-wandering effects than subjective beliefs about experimental results
TL;DR: In this article , the subjective and objective intervention effects of mind-wandering and tDCS were compared in a comparison of 2 mA vs. sham, which was not examined in the reanalysis.

Applications of open-source software ROAST in clinical studies: A review
Mohigul Nasimova,Yu Huang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reviewed 94 clinical TES studies that leveraged ROAST for computational modeling and found that over 1800 individual heads have been modeled by RoAST for more than 30 different clinical applications.

Excitability changes induced in the human motor cortex by weak transcranial direct current stimulation.
Michael A. Nitsche,Walter Paulus +1 more
TL;DR: Transcranial electrical stimulation using weak current may be a promising tool to modulate cerebral excitability in a non‐invasive, painless, reversible, selective and focal way.

Wandering Minds: The Default Network and Stimulus-Independent Thought
Malia F. Mason,Michael I. Norton,John D. Van Horn,Daniel M. Wegner,Scott T. Grafton,C. Neil Macrae +5 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Brain's Default Mode Network
TL;DR: The brain's default mode network plays a central role in this work and consistently decreases its activity when compared with activity during these relaxed nontask states.
Journal ArticleDOI
The restless mind
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the hypothesis that mind-wandering can be integrated into standard executive models of attention and show that it often occurs in the absence of explicit intention.
