Apparently, they’re not that hard to make.

It seems that the first question a scientist or medical professional should ask someone who says they are asexual is what medications they are taken and have taken, especially during their adolescence.

Mind-wandering is very interesting. Currently, using eye tracking technology to investigate attention – personality traits. It’d be great to have a chat when you’re in York.

I agree – the term “resting state” is confusing. The brain is always active anyway! You should probably think of it as spontaneous brain activity that’s not prompted by an external cue/task. And yes, there are other networks active during sleep and rest apart from the DMN. There was an interesting EEG paper that identified loads of task positive and task negative papers a few years ago. I’ll email it to you when I find it! Could be useful.
