Ongoing thoughts at rest reflect functional brain organization and behavior

2025-08-19

Abstract excerpt

Resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC)—brain connectivity observed when people rest with no external tasks—predicts individual differences in behavior. Yet, rest is not idle; it involves streams of thoughts. Are these ongoing thoughts reflected in FC and do they contribute to the relationship between rsFC and behavior? To test this question, we developed an annotated rest paradigm where participants rated an...
