This project aims to develop a theory of mind wandering. A large portion of our conscious lives is spent mind wandering: attention periodically drifts away from current tasks, often without our noticing. This challenges the assumption that healthy adults are normally aware of and able to control their thought processes. This project will use cognitive neuroscience, sleep and dream research and philosophy of mind to develop a theory of mind wandering across the sleep-wake cycle and an interdisciplinary methodology for its investigation. The anticipated outcome is understanding of spontaneous thought and its relationship to attention, consciousness and the self. This potentially throws new light on important issues relating to mental health and sleep disorders.

该项目旨在发展一种思维理论。我们有意识的生活的很大一部分是在思想上徘徊的：注意力从当前的任务中定期偏离当前的任务，常常没有我们的注意。这挑战了健康成年人通常意识到并能够控制其思维过程的假设。该项目将使用认知神经科学，睡眠和梦想的研究以及心理哲学来发展整个睡眠效果周期中徘徊的思想理论，以及用于调查的跨学科方法。预期的结果是对自发思想的理解及其与注意力，意识和自我的关系。这有可能对与心理健康和睡眠障碍有关的重要问题产生新的启示。
