The Science of Mind Wandering: Empirically Navigating the Stream of Consciousness
TLDR
Examination of the information-processing demands of the mind-wandering state suggests that it involves perceptual decoupling to escape the constraints of the moment, its content arises from episodic and affective processes, and its regulation relies on executive control.Citations

Mind-wandering as spontaneous thought: a dynamic framework
Kalina Christoff,Zachary C. Irving,Kieran C. R. Fox,R. Nathan Spreng,Jessica R. Andrews-Hanna +4 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that mind-wandering is best understood as a member of a family of spontaneous-thought phenomena that also includes creative thought and dreaming, and can shed new light on mental disorders that are marked by alterations in spontaneous thought, including depression, anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Contemplating Mindfulness at Work An Integrative Review
Darren Good,Christopher J. Lyddy,Theresa M. Glomb,Joyce E. Bono,Kirk Warren Brown,Michelle Duffy,Ruth A. Baer,Judson A. Brewer,Sara W. Lazar +8 more
TL;DR: Mindfulness research activity is surging within organizational science as discussed by the authors, and emerging evidence across multiple fields suggests that mindfulness is fundamentally connected to many aspects of workplace functioning, but this knowledge base has not been systematically integrated to date.

The brain’s default network: updated anatomy, physiology and evolving insights
TL;DR: Progress in understanding the organization and function of networks embedded within association regions is described, with findings from humans, monkeys and rodents indicating that multiple subnetworks make up the default network.
Journal ArticleDOI
The wandering brain: meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies of mind-wandering and related spontaneous thought processes.
TL;DR: It is concluded that further progress in the cognitive and clinical neuroscience of spontaneous thought will therefore require a re-balancing of the authors' view of the contributions of various regions and networks throughout the brain, and beyond the DMN.

Spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature is associated with good health and wellbeing
Mathew P. White,Ian Alcock,James Grellier,Benedict W. Wheeler,Terry Hartig,Sara L. Warber,Sara L. Warber,Angie Bone,Michael H. Depledge,Lora E. Fleming +9 more
TL;DR: Positive associations between recreational nature contact in the last seven days and self-reported health and well-being were consistent across key groups including older adults and those with long-term health issues.

A feature-integration theory of attention
Anne Treisman,Garry A. Gelade +1 more
TL;DR: A new hypothesis about the role of focused attention is proposed, which offers a new set of criteria for distinguishing separable from integral features and a new rationale for predicting which tasks will show attention limits and which will not.

A default mode of brain function.
Marcus E. Raichle,Ann Mary MacLeod,Abraham Z. Snyder,William J. Powers,Debra A. Gusnard,Gordon L. Shulman +5 more
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.

Neural Mechanisms of Selective Visual Attention
Robert Desimone,John S. Duncan +1 more
TL;DR: The two basic phenomena that define the problem of visual attention can be illustrated in a simple example and selectivity-the ability to filter out un wanted information is illustrated.

The Attention System of the Human Brain
TL;DR: Illustration de trois fonctions principales qui sont predominantes dans l'etude de l'intervention de l'sattention dans les processus cognitifs: 1) orientation vers des evenements sensoriels; 2) detection des signaux par processus focal; 3) maintenir la vigilance en etat d'alerte

Functional connectivity in the resting brain: A network analysis of the default mode hypothesis
TL;DR: This study constitutes, to the knowledge, the first resting-state connectivity analysis of the default mode and provides the most compelling evidence to date for the existence of a cohesive default mode network.
