It hasn’t been a good week for Axl Rose—does Axl ever have a good week?—following the truncated sets he was forced to play at the Reading and Leeds festivals in the U.K. The next stop on the Guns N’ Roses touring train wreck was Dublin, where they turned up on stage over an hour late, only to be greeted with a sea of bottles being thrown from the crowd.

Scientists believe that daydreaming or "zoning out" is beneficial for you and ooh, look, clouds, I wish I was outside right now, where did I leave my keys, ummm, what was I doing again?

Scientists believe that daydreaming or "zoning out" is beneficial for you and ooh, look, clouds, I wish I was outside right now, where did I leave my keys, ummm, what was I doing again?:

inothernews:

Until recently, scientists would have found little of interest in the purposeless, mind-wandering spaces between Mrazek’s conscious breakfast-making tasks — they were just the brain idling between meaningful activity.

But in the span of a few short years, they have instead come to view mental leisure as important, purposeful work — work that relies on a powerful and far-flung network of brain cells firing in unison.

Neuroscientists call it the “default mode network.”

Individually, the brain regions that make up that network have long been recognized as active when people recall their pasts, project themselves into future scenarios, impute motives and feelings to other people, and weigh their personal values.

But when these structures hum in unison — and scientists have found that when we daydream, they do just that — they function as our brain’s “neutral” setting. Understanding that setting may do more than lend respectability to the universal practice of zoning out: It may one day help diagnose and treat psychiatric conditions as diverse as Alzheimer’s disease, autism, depression and schizophrenia — all of which disrupt operations in the default mode network.

Beyond that lies an even loftier promise. As neuroscientists study the idle brain, some believe they are exploring a central mystery in human psychology: where and how our concept of “self” is created, maintained, altered and renewed.
