The paper compares brain activity during self-caught and probe-caught mind blanking events using fMRI, finding behavioral convergence but neural divergence in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex.

The paper investigates the neural correlates of mind blanking (MB) using EEG-fMRI and experience-sampling, finding that MB is associated with distinct brain connectivity patterns depending on vigilance levels.

The paper examines cardiac responses to auditory irregularities during sleep, showing slowed cardiac activity to global deviants in REM sleep and cardiac acceleration in light NREM sleep, indicating hierarchical information processing variations.

The paper shows that variations in autonomic arousal influence the likelihood of reporting mind-blanking events, with both low and high arousal conditions associated with increased reports.

The paper investigates the neural correlates of mind-blanking without induction, finding deactivations in multiple brain regions and proposing a neuronal profile associated with the phenomenon.

This study examines how attentional control and arousal regulate ongoing mental states in young and older adults, finding age-dependent differences in mind-wandering and mind-blank states.

This paper identifies mind blanking as a distinct mental state with unique neurobehavioral and neural characteristics during wakefulness.
