The temporal evolution of functional connectivity (FC) within the confines of individual scans
is nowadays often explored with functional neuroimaging. This is particularly true for resting …

The world is aging and, as the elderly population increases, age-related cognitive decline
emerges as a major concern. Neuroimaging techniques, such as functional magnetic …

Spontaneous fluctuations are a hallmark of recordings of neural signals, emergent over time
scales spanning milliseconds and tens of minutes. However, investigations of intrinsic brain …

Functional connectivity (FC) sheds light on the interactions between different brain regions.
Besides basic research, it is clinically relevant for applications in Alzheimer's disease …

Humans spend much of their time engaged in stimulus-independent thoughts, colloquially
known as “daydreaming” or “mind-wandering.” A fundamental question concerns how …

Inner speech—also known as covert speech or verbal thinking—has been implicated in
theories of cognitive development, speech monitoring, executive function, and …

Anticorrelation between the default network (DN) and dorsal attention network (DAN) is
thought to be an intrinsic aspect of functional brain organization reflecting competing …
