Excited to present my thesis work on #SRL and #mindwandering ! And hopefully to volunteer🤩

Have you ever tried to meditate and after just a few seconds your mind feels like a noisy crowd? Silence is not always peaceful. It is the time when your brain asks strange questions. Like, did we leave the stove on?#quietmindchallenge #relaxationtips #funnythoughts #mindwandering

Our recent research on mind wandering is featured in Cerveau et Psycho, a French magazine on brain and cognition. Thanks, Thomas ;)

Meet your brain's Default Mode Network, the inner director that loves reruns which is why that cringe moment keeps playing back. Learn what it is and how to change the channel. 🧠🔁🤦

The interplay between metacontrol and mind-wandering. Evidence from an HD-tDCS study The metacontrol framework claims that cognitive control operates along a continuum between persistence and flexibility. While spontaneous mind-wandering is often considered a failure of control, emerg...

🧠 How do mind-wandering and cognitive control interact?
Using our Starstim, HD-tDCS over the left DLPFC increased persistence-style control without altering mind-wandering rate.

New study links mindfulness meditation to changes in brainwaves tied to attention A new study offers evidence that mindfulness meditation reduces brain alpha wave activity, suggesting increased attentional engagement. Despite these neural changes, physiological arousal remained sta...

Love seeing research that uses biometric measures consistent with experiential data, in this case that practicing mindfulness is not base relaxation.

Me: Let’s knock this out before the weekend!
 Also me, 4 minutes later:
    Googling “do ants get tired?”
    “Planning a business I’ll never launch”

Default Mode Network, baby.

 Otherwise known as: “Supposed to be working, but accidentally built a life philosophy in my head instead.”

Bore me (not): boredom impairs recognition memory but not the pupil old/new effect - Alexandra Lapteva, Sarah Schnyder, Wanja Wolff, Corinna S. Martarelli, 2025 Mind-wandering and boredom are common phenomena, characterized by shifts in attention and difficulties in sustaining focus. Despite extensive research on the co...

Daydreaming might actually make you smarter, says new brain study New research shows spontaneous mind wandering can enhance learning during low-effort tasks by mimicking sleep-like brain activity.

Zoning out during simple tasks could supercharge your brain’s ability to learn: Study interestingengineering.com/health/zonin... via @intengineering.bsky.social #zoningout #brainboost #learninghack #mindwandering #cognitivescience

Mind wandering might be more productive than you think Spontaneous mind wandering during boring tasks may unexpectedly boost learning by mimicking deep rest brain activity.

New in the BJDP!
We examined links between #MindWandering and mood in children and found:
- Lower mood is linked to more frequent MW, echoing adolescent/adult patterns
- It also predicts past-oriented MW
- Worry may link to future-focused thoughts

#MindWandering, a daily experience linked to our creativity, sometimes escapes our control. I often experience it when I repel what I’m hearing/reading. I find mind wandering to be a potent and effective #resistance tool against the other’s #discursivecolonization. I can’t avoid it, it’s so organic.
