"resting activity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to refer to any activity that involves taking a break or a rest. For example, "Taking a short walk is my favorite resting activity after a long day of work."
A precedent for a link between active cognitive training and increases in intrinsic resting activity in brain networks has been previously established (Takeuchi et al. 2012).
Changes in renal nerve discharge induced by optogenetic activation of RVLM astrocytes were normalised to resting activity during normoxic/normocapnic conditions (100%%) and no activity (0 %) recorded following administration of hexamethonium (20 mg kg−1; i.v). at the end of each experiment.
The lowest resting activity of the PFMs, suggesting only slight motor unit potential activation, was observed in supine lying with the knees flexed compared to standing (P = 0.00024) and sitting (P = 0.0053).
The gamma group did not show any pre-post changes in their EEG resting activity.
Wang GJ, Volkow ND, Felder C, Fowler JS, Levy AV, Pappas NR et al. Enhanced resting activity of the oral somatosensory cortex in obese subjects.
The newborn brain is not "blank". Spontaneous resting activity can be identified in five cortical areas, as revealed by functional MRI (34).
Once an assessment of activity metabolism is made, energy balance can be quantified by comparing energy expenditure (including resting activity, and digestive metabolism) with caloric intake.
There were no significant differences between the amplitude of the resting activity in MWA vs. healthy controls.
All such recordings can be classified as either spontaneous or resting activity, or stimulus-driven evoked activity.
The resulting pair-correlation function for resting activity is shown in the left panel of Fig. 20.
For voxel-wise comparison of the amplitude of the resting activity across groups a nonparametric permutation test was performed (5000 permutations) for each frequency bands.
