In cognitive neuroscience, focus is commonly placed on associating brain function with changes in objectively measured external stimuli or with actively generated cognitive processes. In everyday life, however, many forms of cognitive processes are initiated spontaneously, without an individual’s active effort and without explicit manipulation of behavioral state. Recently, there has been increased emphasis, especially in functional neuroimaging research, on spontaneous correlated activity among spatially segregated brain regions (intrinsic functional connectivity) and, more specifically, on intraindividual fluctuations of such correlated activity on various time scales (time-varying functional connectivity). In this Perspective, we propose that certain subtypes of spontaneous cognitive processes are detectable in time-varying functional connectivity measurements. We define these subtypes of spontaneous cognitive processes and review evidence of their representations in time-varying functional connectivity from studies of attentional fluctuations, memory reactivation, and effects of baseline states on subsequent perception. Moreover, we describe how these studies are critical to validating the use of neuroimaging tools (e.g., fMRI) for assessing ongoing brain network dynamics. We conclude that continued investigation of the behavioral relevance of time-varying functional connectivity will be beneficial both in the development of comprehensive neural models of cognition, and in informing on best practices for studying brain network dynamics.

To many neuroscientists, the question “What is your brain doing right now?” is of great interest. The answer to this question may be different at any given moment. Although some brain activity can often be attributed to overt behaviors or changes in environmental stimuli, there is growing appreciation that spontaneous processes—not attributable to specific inputs or outputs—account for a large proportion of neural variability (Raichle, 2015; Shulman, Rothman, Behar, & Hyder, 2004).

In cognitive neuroscience, focus is commonly placed on associating brain function with changes in environmental stimuli or actively generated cognitive processes. In everyday life, however, many forms of cognitive processes occur spontaneously, without an individual’s active effort and in the absence of explicit manipulation of behavioral state. For example, thoughts that are unrelated to the current sensory environment, such as involuntary memo ries, are estimated to comprise ∼30–50% of waking life (Kane et al., 2007; Killingsworth & Gilbert, 2010; Klinger & Cox, 1987) and thus likely represent a significant source of variation in ongoing brain activity (Christoff, Irving, Fox, Spreng, & Andrews-Hanna, 2016; Kucyi, 2017; Smallwood & Schooler, 2015). Thus, an alternative approach to understanding the neural basis of everyday cognition is to observe behavioral and neural phenomena as they emerge on their own—that is, the study of spontaneous cognitive processes.

Over the past decade, there has been increased emphasis, especially in functional neuroimaging research, on spontaneous correlated activity among spatially segregated nodes of the brain (functional connectivity [FC]) that can be detected during an undirected, wakeful “resting state” (Fox & Raichle, 2007). More specifically, recently there has been a strong research focus on fluctuations of such correlated activity within and between brain networks on various time scales (Calhoun, Miller, Pearlson, & Adali, 2014; Chang & Glover, 2010; Hutchison et al., 2013; Preti, Bolton, & Van De Ville, 2016) and across all pairs of brain regions (the “functional connectome”; Bullmore & Sporns, 2009; Sporns, 2010). It is now clear that the overall organization of the functional connectome is relatively stable within individuals, regardless of context (including anesthesia/unconsciousness or during different cognitive tasks) when measured on the time scale of several minutes or longer (“static FC”; Cole, Bassett, Power, Braver, & Petersen, 2014; Krienen, Yeo, & Buckner, 2014; Laumann et al., 2015; Vincent et al., 2007). However, in the emerging field of “dynamic FC” (herein referred to as time-varying FC), modeling and analysis approaches that focus on shorter time scales suggest that spontaneous network communication, although partially constrained by anatomical connectivity, can be highly variable within an individual (Cabral, Kringelbach, & Deco, 2017; Deco, Jirsa, & McIntosh, 2011; Ghosh, Rho, McIntosh, Kotter, & Jirsa, 2008; Honey, Kotter, Breakspear, & Sporns, 2007).

Several controversies remain in the field of time-varying FC. Do spontaneous temporal fluctuations of FC reflect genuine changes in neural network configurations, or do they simply reflect sampling variability and measurement noise (Handwerker, Roopchansingh, Gonzalez-Castillo, & Bandettini, 2012; Hindriks et al., 2016; Keilholz, Magnuson, Pan, Willis, & Thompson, 2013; Laumann et al., 2017; Leonardi & Van De Ville, 2015; Liegeois, Laumann, Snyder, Zhou, & Yeo, 2017)? And critically, are spontaneous cognitive processes represented in measurable reconfigurations of FC (the main focus of this Perspective)?

We begin this Perspective by proposing a definition of spontaneous cognitive processes and describe subtypes of mental and behavioral phenomena that naturally fluctuate. We then review evidence of relationships between time-varying FC and spontaneous cognitive processes from studies of attentional fluctuations, memory reactivation, and effects of baseline brain network organization on subsequent perception. We focus specifically on these areas not because they represent the only window into the cognition-FC relationship, but because multiple studies with common approaches have been conducted for each of these domains, and common findings are beginning to emerge. On the basis of the described evidence, we propose that certain subtypes of spontaneous cognitive processes are detectable in time-varying FC measurements. Moreover, we describe how these studies are critical to validating the use of neuroimaging tools (e.g., fMRI) for assessing ongoing brain network dynamics.

Spontaneous cognitive process is an umbrella term for several forms of self-generated, freely emerging thoughts, experiences, and/or sensations that are not initiated by overt, active control or by an immediate external stimulus. Following the spontaneous onset of such a process, control, intention, and other cognitive processes can become engaged. Thus, the main difference between a spontaneous and a task-evoked cognitive process is in the manner of initiation (cf. Smallwood, 2013).

All spontaneous cognitive processes are represented in the brain’s ongoing activity. However, spontaneous brain activity also reflects other intrinsic neural processes that typically do not overtly impact or reflect immediate cognition, such as maintenance of homeostasis and the integrity of anatomical connections (Raichle, 2015; Sadaghiani & Kleinschmidt, 2013). Thus, when measured over at least several minutes, overall patterns of intrinsic functional network organization are relatively insensitive to current cognition and are relatively stable within an individual over time and across contexts, with quantifiable differences across individuals (akin to a “fingerprint”; Finn et al., 2015; Laumann et al., 2015; D. Wang et al., 2015). In contrast, neural activity representing spontaneous cognitive processes is transient and state dependent. Whereas a change in cognitive state (i.e., cognitive processes in which someone is currently engaging) is always reflected in a brain state (e.g., the whole-brain pattern of FC), a change in brain state can reflect a number of factors unrelated to current cognition. Thus, a change in brain state does not implicitly suggest that a specific change in cognitive processes is occurring (Cohen, 2017; Kucyi, 2017).

Importantly, the presence of state-dependent spontaneous brain activity does not immediately imply that such activity is deviant from an individual’s functional connectome fingerprint. Indeed, individuals may have traitlike tendencies to frequently visit a given FC state during wakeful rest (Choe et al., 2017; Hutchison & Morton, 2015; Kucyi & Davis, 2014; Kucyi, Salomons, & Davis, 2013; Yang, Craddock, Margulies, Yan, & Milham, 2014). However, there may be situations in which transient changes in FC represent deviations from the fingerprint (see sections ec1Attention and ec2Baseline Connectivity and Perceptual Variability). Accordingly, changes in time-varying FC can also reflect changes within an individual and their day-to-day cognitive state (Shine, Koyejo, & Poldrack, 2016). State-dependent deviations from an individual’s fingerprint often occur within and between networks that are relevant for the particular cognitive process that is immediately occurring, without grossly altering other networks. This leaves the overall functional connectome pattern relatively intact (Cole et al., 2014; Geerligs, Rubinov, Cam, & Henson, 2015; Krienen et al., 2014).

Although there is acknowledgment that spontaneous cognitive processes may partially explain local neural fluctuations (Fox & Raichle, 2007) and time-varying FC (Cohen, 2017; Hutchison et al., 2013; Liegeois et al., 2017; Preti et al., 2016), there remains no consensus on a taxonomy that accurately captures the multifaceted nature of these processes. The terms “spontaneous cognition” and “spontaneous thought” have commonly been used in the literature to refer specifically to conscious, inner experiences, with some acknowledgment that there are discrete subtypes of such experiences (e.g., mind-wandering vs. intrusive/ruminative thoughts; Andrews-Hanna, Reidler, Huang, & Buckner, 2010; Buckner, Andrews-Hanna, & Schacter, 2008; Christoff et al., 2016; Giambra, 1977; Maillet & Schacter, 2016). Spontaneous cognitive processes as defined here include, but are not limited to, conscious experiences, and also include processes that are spontaneously initiated and that then subsequently occur unconsciously. We propose that there are multiple forms of spontaneous mental processes that can be described in terms of discrete categories, of which a subset are “cognitive” in nature. These spontaneous mental processes include affective state, arousal/wakefulness, hunger/thirst, sexual drive, vigilance, attention, memory (reactivation/replay), level of full consciousness, current conscious contents, and processes that mediate the onset, maintenance, and transitions of spontaneous thoughts.

Different spontaneous mental processes fluctuate on multiple time scales and may display unique temporal properties (Figure 1). For example, arousal/wakefulness and its impact on cognitive state typically displays a slow drift on the scale of minutes to hours (Tagliazucchi & van Someren, 2017). Spontaneous fluctuations in attention, which may be indexed by fluctuations in behavioral performance, can vary in an aperiodic fashion between focused and unfocused states on scales of seconds to 10s or 100s of seconds (Castellanos et al., 2005; Di Martino et al., 2008; Monto et al., 2008; Smallwood, McSpadden, Luus, & Schooler, 2008; Verplanck, Collier, & Cotton, 1952). In contrast, spontaneous reactivations of memories or representations of recent experience may be marked by fast transient events at the subsecond level (Diba & Buzsaki, 2007; Nadasdy, Hirase, Czurko, Csicsvari, & Buzsaki, 1999), which in turn can manifest as specific patterns in the structure of correlated activity measured over longer time scales, such as minutes (Kudrimoti, Barnes, & McNaughton, 1999; Lansink, Goltstein, Lankelma, McNaughton, & Pennartz, 2009).

Some spontaneous mental processes are interrelated with one another, such as arousal and vigilance. Others typically are relatively independent, such as attention and valence of affective state. Furthermore, some processes are composed of multiple dimensions. As an example, affect can be described on low versus high intensity or positive versus negative continuums. Moreover, differences in the content and nature of spontaneous thoughts (e.g., thoughts about the past vs. future, positive or negative) can be independent of one another and have diverging relationships with neural activity at intraindividual (Tusche, Smallwood, Bernhardt, & Singer, 2014) and interindividual levels (Karapanagiotidis, Bernhardt, Jefferies, & Smallwood, 2017; Poerio et al., 2017; Smallwood et al., 2016). Whereas some spontaneous mental processes are clearly in the “cognitive” category (e.g., attention, memory), such a classification for others is less clear (e.g., wakefulness, affective state). We focus herein on spontaneous processes that are unambiguously considered to be cognitive in nature and that have been examined in the context of time-varying FC. These include attention, memory reactivation, and perceptual processes.

During a typical experimental resting state period, and presumably during natural settings in everyday life, multiple spontaneous cognitive processes occur simultaneously. Compared with the conventional study of active cognitive processes via “task minus baseline” approaches, linking spontaneous cognitive processes to neural network dynamics presents unique empirical challenges. For example, the onset of a spontaneous cognitive process is often hidden to the observer (Smallwood, 2013). Moreover, when studying spontaneous cognitive processes in the context of time-varying FC in particular, analysis approaches including the use of network science tools (see Box 1) must be carefully chosen because of the high-dimensional, multivariate nature of time-varying connectivity data. On the basis of behavioral studies, fluctuations in physiological parameters such as pupil diameter and heart rate have been proposed to be markers of some spontaneous cognitive processes (Smallwood et al., 2004, 2011). We propose here that brain activity that more directly reflects cognitive functions may (at least in part) be captured in time-varying connectivity analyses, and could provide greater sensitivity and specificity. In the following sections, we review experimental designs and analyses that have been used in existing studies to provide evidence that multiple subtypes of spontaneous cognitive processes are represented in time-varying FC.

Attention

Neuroscientific investigation of attention has classically focused on aspects such as reorienting to sensory stimuli in the immediate environment (“bottom-up” or stimulus-driven attention) and to active control over the allocation of attentional resources (“top-down” or goal-driven attention; Corbetta & Shulman, 2002). However, inspired by recent discoveries of the functional importance of spontaneous activity throughout the human brain, the study of spontaneous aspects of attention has expanded (Christoff et al., 2016; Kucyi, 2017; Palva & Palva, 2011; Sonuga-Barke & Castellanos, 2007). Spontaneous attentional fluctuations include switches of focus between the present external environment and self-generated, stimulus-independent thoughts. They can also include changes of focus within each of those classes, such as a spontaneous change in the content of stimulus-independent thought. Spontaneous attentional fluctuations can be detected via behavioral performance variations or in self-reports, and both have been linked with time-varying FC. Importantly, the examinations of these “objective” and “subjective” measures are complementary to one another. Whereas behavioral fluctuations measured with response-time variability can serve to validate self-reported experiences at intra- and interindividual levels (Kucyi et al., 2013; Smallwood, 2011; Smallwood et al., 2008; Stawarczyk, Majerus, Maj, Van der Linden, & D’Argembeau, 2011), the two classes of measures also capture different aspects of attentional fluctuations and their associated neural and physiological correlates (Konishi, Brown, Battaglini, & Smallwood, 2017; Kucyi, Esterman, Riley, & Valera, 2016).

Behavioral fluctuations can be measured as variations of reaction times during continuous performance tasks that have minimal variations over time with regard to cognitive demand. Such fluctuations provide clues as to how attention naturally waxes and wanes within individuals. Spontaneous fluctuations in response-time variability have been linked with regional fMRI activity in attention-relevant brain networks, including the default network, as well as the dorsal and ventral attention networks (Esterman, Noonan, Rosenberg, & Degutis, 2013; Esterman, Rosenberg, & Noonan, 2014; Kucyi et al., 2016; Kucyi, Hove, Esterman, Hutchison, & Valera, 2017; Rosenberg, Finn, Constable, & Chun, 2015). Moreover, behavioral fluctuations have been related to time-varying FC of default and salience networks, over and above regional activation levels within these networks (Kucyi et al., 2017). Specifically, when subjects were instructed to tap their finger continuously and rhythmically over a period of several minutes, their tapping fluctuated between periods of high and low variability, with high variability periods potentially signifying attentional lapses. These continuous drifts of attention were associated with increasing time-varying FC within default network areas and increased coupling/reduced anticorrelation between salience and default network areas (Kucyi et al., 2017) (Figure 3A). A recent study in sleep-deprived subjects also identified reduced anticorrelated activity between default network regions and both salience and dorsal attention network regions as related to both spontaneous eyelid closures (assumed to reflect low arousal) and to slow response speeds during continuous task performance (C. Wang, Ong, Patanaik, Zhou, & Chee, 2016).

Time-varying FC correlates of spontaneous cognitive processes. (A) Attentional fluctuations, as detected in fluctuations of behavior during a prolonged period of continuous rhythmic finger tapping, are correlated with second-to-second time-varying FC of the right anterior insula (R aINS, top), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC, middle), and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC, bottom) with regions within the default network (reproduced with permission from Kucyi et al., 2017). (B) Hippocampal FC patterns persist from encoding blocks to rest periods after encoding, suggesting that memory reactivation can be detected in minutes-long time-varying FC within the hippocampus.

Effects are specific to the type of stimuli encoded, regardless of whether pairings are OF or scene-face (SF) (bottom) (reproduced with permission from Tambini & Davachi, 2013).

Importantly, behavioral performance can vary over time with or without a person’s awareness. To capture a person’s inner experience of their attentional state, self-reports can be conducted intermittently, usually with “thought probes” that are at least tens of seconds apart (Smallwood & Schooler, 2006). Thought probes can be designed to capture experiences of spontaneous attentional lapses that people were aware of either during or after the episode itself (Christoff, Gordon, Smallwood, Smith, & Schooler, 2009). Importantly, to do this successfully, the form and content of the self-reported experience must be assessed appropriately to distinguish a spontaneous attentional lapse from, for example, an intentional train of thought (Seli, Risko, & Smilek, 2016). Although they do not provide the same temporal resolution as behavioral performance fluctuations, self-reports can provide critical information about how an attentional fluctuation was experienced. For example, attention may fluctuate because of spontaneous mind wandering or because of an experienced external distraction (Smallwood & Schooler, 2015; Stawarczyk et al., 2011).

Initial neuroimaging studies reported associations of self-reported attentional fluctuations, as assessed using online thought probes, with regional activity changes in default and attention-relevant brain networks (Christoff et al., 2009; Vanhaudenhuyse et al., 2011). Additionally, recent studies using time-varying FC analyses of temporal windows prior to thought probes (ranging from 20 to 40 seconds) have revealed that subjective, spontaneous fluctuations in attention away from both pain (self-reported mind wandering; Kucyi et al., 2013) and task performance (self-reported “off-task” thought; Mittner et al., 2014) are associated with intra- and internetwork connectivity of the default network. Additionally, FC correlates of intraindividual variations in self-reported attentional states have been observed on the time scale of minutes. At the within-network level, default network FC variability has been associated with intensity of mind wandering (Kucyi & Davis, 2014). On the whole-brain network level, flexible interareal dynamics have been associated with heightened attention (Shine et al., 2016).

Although the studies summarized herein largely required the introduction of a task or the interruption of ongoing experience, nevertheless they provide a window into the types of attentional fluctuations (e.g., variations in mind-wandering intensity) that occur spontaneously and that are likely to be represented in time-varying FC during wakeful rest. We therefore propose that spontaneous FC fluctuations within and between particular networks (e.g., default and salience networks), and in whole-brain network-level properties (e.g., flexible interareal dynamics), reflect the waxing and waning of attention that naturally occurs at rest. Future studies to test this hypothesis could involve the comparison of neural activity that is associated with self-report and behavioral measures of attention versus independent neural activity measured at rest within the same subjects. Combined with putative covert measures of attention (cf. C. Wang et al., 2016), such an approach could be fruitful in potentially enabling objective tracking of attentional states in time-varying FC patterns.

Baseline Connectivity and Perceptual Variability

Similar to the above-described fluctuations in attention, and likely under the influence thereof, perception is often highly variable within an individual even when stimuli and external conditions are held constant (Gilden, 2001; Kleinschmidt, Sterzer, & Rees, 2012). The investigation of perceptual variability enables understanding of how spontaneous cognitive processes that influence the internal momentary state of the brain modulate awareness of the external world. Beyond contributing to an understanding of the cognitive significance of connectome dynamics, the investigation of perceptual variability also adds to the validation of the neural origin of time-varying FC (see section ec3Validating Time-Varying Functional Connectivity: Challenges and Opportunities).

Spontaneous fluctuations in perception of external sensory stimuli correlate with variability in evoked neural responses (Bernasconi et al., 2011; Pessoa & Padmala, 2005; Ratcliff, Philiastides, & Sajda, 2009; Ress, Backus, & Heeger, 2000). Evoked response variability in turn has been linked to spontaneous fluctuations in regional amplitude of baseline or ongoing activity in both task-relevant sensory brain regions (Hesselmann, Kell, Eger, & Kleinschmidt, 2008; Hesselmann, Kell, & Kleinschmidt, 2008; Sadaghiani, Hesselmann, & Kleinschmidt, 2009), as well as in large-scale higher order brain networks (Boly et al., 2007; Coste, Sadaghiani, Friston, & Kleinschmidt, 2011; Sadaghiani et al., 2009). As discussed below, more recent investigations have moved beyond such univariate analyses of spontaneous activity, suggesting that the correlation of baseline amplitude fluctuations across distributed regions, which emerges as spontaneous time-varying FC, is related to variability in perception.

Studying the perceptual consequences of connectome dynamics inherently requires a task. Indeed, functional connectome dynamics as observed with fMRI have been investigated during task performance (e.g., Bassett et al., 2011; Davison et al., 2015; Ekman, Derrfuss, Tittgemeyer, & Fiebach, 2012; Shine et al., 2016; Simony et al., 2016). However, such studies do not directly speak to the significance of spontaneous brain activity because the inherently slow hemodynamic responses evoked by external task events generally overlap in time with ongoing intrinsic activity. Any attempt to regress out evoked activity (e.g., Gonzalez-Castillo et al., 2015) may be incomplete because of trial-to-trial variability of the task-evoked brain responses. Although this very variability might emerge from an interaction of evoked activity and spontaneous changes in background activity, evoked and spontaneous processes cannot be disentangled with subtraction or regression methods because of their potential nonlinear interaction (He, 2013; Hesselmann, Kell, Eger, & Kleinschmidt, 2008). Thus, although these task investigations provide important information about task-dependent FC, spontaneous changes in the intrinsic functional connectome may remain nondissociable from task-evoked coactivation. To understand how spontaneous functional connectome dynamics may result in fluctuations of task-evoked neural processes, we first must study the former and the latter in a dissociable manner. Therefore, the central challenge in studying the impact of spontaneous FC shifts on perceptual variability is the difficulty in dissociating them from task-evoked coactivation during tasks.

To unequivocally attribute changes in perception to spontaneous connectome state changes, some researchers have turned to studying FC during prestimulus time periods. A shared feature of these studies is the use of stimuli that are identical or directly comparable from trial to trial, yet cause different perceptual outcomes each time, such as threshold-level or ambiguous stimuli prominent in classical evoked studies of perceptual awareness (Kleinschmidt et al., 2012). The following examples focus on fMRI because of its spatial precision that enables the mapping of functional connectome states, although electrophysiological and magnetoencephalography studies similarly tap into the behavioral impact of large-scale prestimulus connectivity at times scales of canonical oscillatory frequencies (Weisz et al., 2014). A study of threshold pain perception found that prestimulus FC between the anterior insula and brainstem across the 3 s prior to the somatosensory stimulus was stronger when stimuli were rated as painful. Variations in FC explained variability in ratings both within and across subjects (Ploner, Lee, Wiech, Bingel, & Tracey, 2010). In another study, subjects were asked to detect a sparse and inconspicuous stimulus change as an assessment of ongoing vigilance. Analyses investigated the relation between the default network and “task-positive” control regions typically activated in response to external demands (Thompson et al., 2013). It was found that detection success was best when the default network was least correlated with the control regions in the several seconds before the stimulus change and extending through the evoked hemodynamic response period. Another study of vigilance fluctuations (auditory threshold detection) with very long intertrial intervals unaffected by evoked brain responses (22–40 s) applied whole-brain connectomics (graph theory, Box 1) and classification procedures during prestimulus time to establish the predictive power of spontaneous connectome dynamics (Sadaghiani, Poline, Kleinschmidt, & D’Esposito, 2015) (Figure 3B). Classification of single-trial large-scale network correlations predicted hits versus misses. Graph investigations revealed that the functional connectome alternated between states of high and low modularity (i.e., states of more or less segregated neurocognitive networks, respectively), with higher modularity scores preceding successful stimulus detection. Like whole-brain connectome investigations applied to entire continuous task periods (Shine et al., 2016) or to a task-free resting state (Betzel, Fukushima, He, Zuo, & Sporns, 2016), this study highlights the functional importance of modularity of brain states, which describes network organization across a segregation-integration axis.

Taken together, studies of baseline activity have highlighted that detectable, spontaneous reconfigurations of FC are predictive of upcoming behavioral performance. Critically, prestimulus FC explains perceptual variability over and above regional (univariate) activity (Sadaghiani et al., 2015). Similar within- and between-network interactions are likely to be present in time-varying FC during wakeful rest. Although behavioral output measures are absent in a resting state experiment, such fluctuations likely reflect and impact an individual’s unobserved cognitive state.

Memory Reactivation

Another spontaneous cognitive process that has been investigated using time-varying FC is memory reactivation, or the recurrence of representations of past experience after events are initially encoded into memory. Although overt or explicit retrieval of information from memory is associated with the reactivation of representations present during the encoding of events (Ritchey, Wing, LaBar, & Cabeza, 2013), memory reactivation can also occur in a spontaneous manner after learning. Spontaneous memory reactivation, in conjunction with large-scale network-level interactions (e.g., hippocampal-cortical interactions), are major mechanisms thought to support long-term memory stabilization. By recording the activity of neural ensembles before, during, and after behavioral tasks, animal studies have demonstrated an increase in the spontaneous emergence of task-evoked sequences of firing from pre- to posttask periods (e.g., Ji & Wilson, 2007), and that features of spontaneous reactivation are related to subsequent memory (Csicsvari & Dupret, 2014). This spontaneous reactivation tends to occur during “off-line” time periods, such as awake rest periods or sleep, when the hippocampal local field potential is dominated by brief (∼100 ms) sharp-wave ripple (SWR) events (Buzsaki, Horvath, Urioste, Hetke, & Wise, 1992; Buzsaki, Leung, & Vanderwolf, 1983; Diba & Buzsaki, 2007).

Inspired by ensemble-level reactivation, time-varying FC approaches have been used to query the existence of spontaneous reactivation via resting state fMRI. Although SWRs and reactivation events occur at a faster time scale than the BOLD response, individual hippocampal ripple events are associated with transient but robust and widespread BOLD signal changes (Logothetis et al., 2012), particularly in the default network (Kaplan et al., 2016). Moreover, the occurrence of repeated reactivation events can systematically alter the spontaneous correlation structure of firing patterns, resulting in a persistence of connectivity patterns induced during a prior task at a longer time scale of minutes (Kudrimoti et al., 1999; Lansink et al., 2009). Researchers have investigated reactivation after the cessation of learning in fMRI by examining transient pattern reactivation at individual time points (de Voogd, Fernandez, & Hermans, 2016; Deuker et al., 2013; Gruber, Ritchey, Wang, Doss, & Ranganath, 2016; Schlichting & Preston, 2014; Staresina, Alink, Kriegeskorte, & Henson, 2013) or by analyzing the persistence of learning-related FC patterns over the course of minutes (Hermans et al., 2017; Tambini & Davachi, 2013). Both approaches have shown that activity patterns present during learning more closely match spontaneous patterns present during rest after learning compared with before learning, providing evidence consistent with the underlying reactivation of recently acquired memories (de Voogd et al., 2016; Gruber et al., 2016; Tambini & Davachi, 2013) (Figure 3C). Importantly, the persistence of learning-related patterns during postlearning periods is positively related to memory performance when it is tested hours later, suggesting that experience-dependent changes in spontaneous activity are related to the stabilization of memory for recent experience (de Voogd et al., 2016; Deuker et al., 2013; Gruber et al., 2016; Schlichting & Preston, 2014; Staresina et al., 2013). The persistence of learning-related patterns occurs in medial temporal lobe regions, including the hippocampus (Gruber et al., 2016; Hermans et al., 2017; Tambini & Davachi, 2013), amygdala (Hermans et al., 2017), and entorhinal cortex (Staresina et al., 2013), as well as in retrosplenial cortex (Staresina et al., 2013) and ventral temporal cortex (de Voogd et al., 2016; Schlichting & Preston, 2014). These findings indicate that neural signatures consistent with underlying spontaneous memory-related pattern reactivation can be observed at multiple time scales across multiple brain regions.

Beyond measuring the reemergence of learning-related patterns within individual brain regions, other studies have examined changes in levels of FC across sets of regions engaged during learning. For example, experience-dependent changes in hippocampal-cortical FC from pre- to postencoding periods tracks overall levels of later associative memory across different encoding experiences and predicts memory across participants (Murty, Tompary, Adcock, & Davachi, 2016; Tambini, Ketz, & Davachi, 2010). Furthermore, hippocampal-cortical FC has been related to the integration of recently learned information with information encountered minutes later (Schlichting & Preston, 2014). In addition to paradigms focusing on memory supported by the hippocampal memory system, experience-dependent changes in resting FC occur after motor learning (Albert, Robertson, & Miall, 2009; Gregory, Robertson, Manoach, & Stickgold, 2016; Sami, Robertson, & Miall, 2014), visual perceptual training (Lewis, Baldassarre, Committeri, Romani, & Corbetta, 2009; Mackey, Miller Singley, & Bunge, 2013), and neurofeedback (Harmelech, Preminger, Wertman, & Malach, 2013). Collectively, these findings indicate that a broad set of experiences can bias the spontaneous correlation structure observed during rest.

Although it is clear that spontaneous FC patterns change over time in a manner consistent with underlying reactivation and interactions that support later memory, it is currently unknown whether these BOLD measures directly reflect the underlying replay of neural ensembles. Replay events can be observed with high fidelity in neurophysiological recordings; however, the detection of reactivation events via fMRI in the absence of validating measures (as in Logothetis et al., 2012) is not nearly as precise, which is likely due to the sensitivity of BOLD to nonneural signals as well as the reduced spatial resolution of fMRI. It is thus possible that changes in FC observed in prior studies may reflect the presence of multiple memory mechanisms, such as both underlying reactivation and Hebbian plasticity (Harmelech & Malach, 2013), as well as brain activity not directly related to memory for recent experiences. Neural signatures consistent with spontaneous reactivation have been observed during rest periods, sleep, and subsequent task performance (Bergmann, Rijpkema, Fernandez, & Kessels, 2012; Tompary, Duncan, & Davachi, 2015). However, the precise principles underlying when postencoding memory reactivation may occur, as well as whether spontaneous reactivation indicates the existence of conscious thoughts regarding recently encountered information (Dewar, Cowan, & Sala, 2007), are currently unclear.

Importantly, memory reactivation is thought to occur frequently in daily life after learning of novel information. Thus, evidence from the above-described studies implies that time-varying FC during typical wakeful rest is likely to be affected by spontaneously occurring memory reactivation, at least in some networks. Currently, evidence for reactivation has been primarily examined within specific brain regions or in interactions across particular sets of brain regions (e.g., hippocampal-cortical interactions). Given that hippocampal SWR events are associated with spatially widespread changes in BOLD activity, an important next step is to examine how memory-related changes in spontaneous activity manifest at the level of whole-brain FC patterns and potentially influence large-scale graph theoretical properties of whole-brain networks (see Sami & Miall, 2013, Box 1).

One of the greatest challenges in the field of time-varying FC is validation. Early studies in the field demonstrated the difficulty of disentangling apparent fluctuations in FC that arise from the heavily autocorrelated nature of the preprocessed BOLD signal from true changes in FC that reflect the time-varying organization of brain activity (Handwerker et al., 2012; Keilholz, Magnuson, Pan, Willis, & Thompson, 2013). These issues have continued to haunt the field as it has grown.For example, sliding window correlation, one of the simplest and most popular techniques for analysis, has been repeatedly shown to provide a suboptimal representation of underlying network dynamics (Hindriks et al., 2016; Laumann et al., 2017; Leonardi & Van De Ville, 2015; Shakil, Lee, & Keilholz, 2016). New model-based methods to assess dynamic changes in FC have been developed that increase within-subject reliability and are better able to differentiate data that is known to be stationary from that which is purportedly dynamic (Choe et al., 2017). Part of the difficulty, however, in performing the correct statistical analysis of time-varying connectivity data is that the appropriate null model is unknown. Because no other existing modality can obtain information about activity throughout the human brain with the spatial and temporal resolution of fMRI, researchers are in the precarious position of trying to use time-varying FC to learn about the macroscopic organization of the brain while trying to use what they know about macroscopic brain activity to determine the appropriate models for analysis. Without external means of validating the findings or assessing the relative merits of new methods, it would be difficult for time-varying FC analysis of resting state fMRI data to move forward.

Fortunately, possibilities for external validation exist. At a group level, dynamic information differentiates some cohorts of patients from healthy controls (Jones et al., 2012; Kaiser et al., 2016; Li et al., 2014; Rashid, Damaraju, Pearlson, & Calhoun, 2014) and relates to individual variability in cognitive traits (Cheng et al., 2017; Kucyi & Davis, 2014; Kucyi et al., 2013; Shen et al., 2015; Yang et al., 2014), including in situations in which static FC measurements do not correlate with or relate independently with such traits (Cheng et al., 2017; Kucyi & Davis, 2014; Kucyi et al., 2013). This confirms that time-varying FC analysis provides additional useful information over and above static FC measurements. However, ideally validation would be performed on a finer scale, assessing sensitivity to intraindividual changes. This can be accomplished by simultaneous measurement of another neural signal that is undeniably sensitive to changes in neuronal activity (e.g., EEG) or a proxy behavioral measure of the brain’s varying activity (e.g., reaction time). EEG can be readily combined with resting state fMRI to provide an external estimate of the state of the brain and has been used to show that large-scale changes in the BOLD signal are linked to changes in the pattern of neural activity, particularly those that may reflect arousal levels (Allen, Damaraju, Eichele, Wu, & Calhoun, 2017; Chang, Liu, Chen, Liu, & Duyn, 2013; Grooms et al., 2017; Hiltunen et al., 2014; Tagliazucchi, von Wegner, Morzelewski, Brodbeck, & Laufs, 2012). Because the spatial resolution of EEG is rather poor and sensitivity is limited to the cortex, it is more appropriate for the validation of large-scale changes than for localized dynamics. Invasive recordings in animals have shown that the fluctuations in the BOLD signal correlate to local field potentials from the same site (Pan et al., 2011; Pan, Thompson, Magnuson, Jaeger, & Keilholz, 2013; Shmuel & Leopold, 2008), and that BOLD sliding window correlation reflects changes in local field potential correlation, particularly in the theta, beta, and gamma bands (Thompson et al., 2013). Human intracranial EEG studies, which have revealed frequency-specific FC patterns on the time scale of minutes that resemble BOLD FC (Foster, Rangarajan, Shirer, & Parvizi, 2015; Hacker, Snyder, Pahwa, Corbetta, & Leuthardt, 2017; He, Snyder, Zempel, Smyth, & Raichle, 2008; Keller et al., 2013; Nir et al., 2008) may also be useful in the future for validating and revealing mechanistic details about time-varying BOLD FC.

Instead of measuring brain activity directly, behavioral output, as summarized in the above sections, can be used as a proxy for alterations in neural activity. One of the drawbacks of behavioral outputs for validation of time-varying FC is that even when tasks with low cognitive load are used, the subject is by definition no longer in the “resting state.” However, as discussed above, if the resting state is considered to be undirected cognition, it is likely to contain many of the same processes that can be assessed using tasks (e.g., attentional fluctuations, memory recall, imagery, etc.), which implies that some of the same changes should be observed. Another caveat is that behavioral outputs are informative about FC within and between networks involved in the task but not about the specific behavior of interest. For example, in a task in which the subject determines whether the current stimulus has been presented before, the accuracy of the answer and the time taken for a decision may be linked to different aspects of time-varying FC. Moreover, behavioral outputs can only be used to validate dynamics related to areas involved in the task, leaving time-varying FC in much of the rest of the brain difficult to interpret. Task performance and behavior may also be linked to various levels of motion, a potentially confounding factor for time-varying FC (Siegel et al., 2017).

It is clear that care is needed in validating time-varying FC analyses of resting state fMRI. One of the factors that is sometimes overlooked is that the dynamics expected from the brain range widely across spatial and temporal scales. Indeed, there is evidence that resting state 1fMRI contains information from the localized scale of columnar or areal activity to the global scale of whole-brain fluctuations, with multiple independent neurophysiological sources (Hyde & Li, 2014; Keilholz, 2014; Keilholz, Pan, Billings, Nezafati, & Shakil, 2017; Raemaekers et al., 2014; Thompson, Pan, Billings, Grooms, Shakil, Jaeger, & Keilholz, 2014; Thompson, Pan, & Keilholz, 2015; Thompson, Pan, Magnuson, Jaeger, & Keilholz, 2014; Thompson et al., 2016; Wong, DeYoung, & Liu, 2016). Thus, dynamic patterns at one spatial and temporal scale may reflect fluctuations in vigilance (Chang et al., 2016), whereas another scale may be better suited to the changes associated with other spontaneous cognitive processes such as memory reactivations. As better models of the brain’s macroscale organization are developed, more sensitive methods for specifically detecting the changes that are of interest are likely to emerge.

The evidence described herein suggests that certain subtypes of spontaneous cognitive processes—those that are likely to occur frequently during any given session of wakeful rest—are detectable in specific patterns of time-varying FC. Studies of attentional fluctuations, memory reactivation, and the relationship between baseline brain activity and variation in perception have each shown that spontaneous and transient changes in BOLD FC are relevant to behavior and experience. By showing that interregional interactions contain behaviorally relevant information over and above regional activation levels, these studies have critically contributed to the validation of time-varying FC measures. Although more research that replicates and extends the described findings to other cognitive processes that can occur spontaneously would improve confidence, the existing body of evidence should convince researchers of the importance and tractability, with currently existing neural recording techniques, of the question of how spontaneous cognitive processes are represented in time-varying FC. Future research should build on the body of research described here as well as focus on classes of spontaneous cognitive processes that we omitted from our discussion. The continued study of spontaneous cognitive processes is not only necessary for addressing the question of “What is your brain doing right now,” but also for the development of comprehensive neural models of cognition and for informing on best practices for studying brain network dynamics.
