My final Registered Report from my PhD is now out in Cortex!
We investigated the role of dopamine & HD-tDCS in mind wandering & sustained attention. While stimulation had no effect, increasing dopamine reduced spontaneous thought and may protect against performance deficits. doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

A little late posting, but I’m thrilled to share that my PhD thesis - On The Causal Neural Substrates of Mind Wandering - was conferred in March.
I am so grateful to everyone who supported me throughout this challenging but incredible journey, and I can't wait to see what the future holds 🧠⚡️
