Mind wandering (MW) can be understood as a transient state in which attention
drifts from an external task to internal self-generated thoughts. MW has been
associated with the activation of the Default Mode Network (DMN). In addition, it
has been shown that the activity of the DMN is anti-correlated with activation in
brain networks related to the processing of external events (e.g., Salience
network, SN). In this study, we present a mean field model based on weakly
coupled Kuramoto oscillators. We simulated the oscillatory activity of the entire
brain and explored the role of the interaction between the nodes from the DMN and
SN in MW states. External stimulation was added to the network model in two
opposite conditions. Stimuli could be presented when oscillators in the SN showed
more internal coherence (synchrony) than in the DMN, or, on the contrary, when
the coherence in the SN was lower than in the DMN. The resulting phases of the
oscillators were analyzed and used to simulate EEG signals. Our results showed
that the structural complexity from both simulated and real data was higher when
the model was stimulated during periods in which DMN was more coherent than the
SN. Overall, our results provided a plausible mechanistic explanation to MW as a
state in which high coherence in the DMN partially suppresses the capacity of the
system to process external stimuli.
