When I went back and asked one of our Pentecostal subjects to submit to a resting-state scan lying quietly on the table for twenty minutes, without thinking, I again discovered that she had asymmetrical activity between the two sides of her thalamus, very similar to what I found in the resting-state scans of the Buddhist practitioners and nuns.

It occurred then to Krogh that only a certain number of capillaries contain blood at any one time during the resting-state, and that this number increases when a greater flow of blood has to be allowed through, i.e. a larger minute-volume.

To do this they analyzed the fluctuations in average signal intensity occurring with a low temporal frequency (.009 to .08 Hz) that were unique to gray matter (relative to white matter or the ventricles) in 4 distinct networks, including a cingulo-opercular network, a fronto-parietal network, a cerebellar network, and the so-called default network (the network most commonly recruited during resting-state studies).
