Resting-state networks reveal functional connectivity patterns without any task

Evidence

However, since a few years, new data-analysis techniques, such as independent component analysis (ICA), have emerged allowing for identification of coherent patterns of spatially independent, temporally correlated signal fluctuations in neuroimaging data during “resting-state”, that is, without a predefined task. These patterns have since been termed “resting-state networks” (RSNs) (Greicius et al. 2004 ) and represent functionally relevant and connected networks or systems supporting core perceptual and cognitive processes. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 2706
