Using PD as a neurocognitive marker, we tested five predictions derived from the decoupling hypothesis of offline thought.
Our analysis provides clear support for the decoupling hypothesis of spontaneous thought: PD exhibits a mode of spontaneous activity (i) uncoupled from task events and (ii) associated with differences in the way that external events are processed [3], [6].
Support for the decoupling hypothesis of spontaneous thought comes from evidence that offline thought impairs sensory processing [9], [10] and from the well-established anti-correlation between the so-called default-mode network (DMN) [11] and perceptual or task relevant processes [12] [14].
The decoupling hypothesis has had nearly as many ups and downs as the global economy itself.
