The journal Brain and Langauge has recently accepted a paper from our post-doc Peiyun Zhou titled, ‘Monitoring of attentional oscillations through Spectral Similarity Analysis predicts reading comprehension’. Highlights of the paper are:
- We developed a Spectral Similarity Analysis (SSA) method to detect mind wandering.
- SSA compares 5 min resting state EEG and 5 min reading EEG without interrupting reading.
- The resulting measure correlated with reading comprehension and executive control.
- Readers with more mind wandering moments tended to have worse comprehension.
- Readers with higher executive control tended to have fewer mind wandering moments.
