Letting the Mind Wander 神遊居然能激發好點子？
In 2001, a group of scientists were carrying out experiments in which volunteers were doing difficult tasks. The team then compared the images of a person’s brain during rest and the images of the volunteers’ brains. The scientists noticed that a specific region of the brain was more active when volunteers did simple tasks than when they engaged in demanding ones. The scientists have named this area of the brain the default mode network, or the DMN.
2001 年，一群科學家針對正在做困難任務的志願者進行實驗。該團隊接著將一個人休息時的大腦影像與志願者的進行比較。科學家注意到當志願者在做簡單任務時，大腦某個特定區域比他們在做艱鉅任務時更加活躍。科學家將這個大腦區域稱為預設模式網路（default mode network），或簡稱 DMN。
