Abstract: Mind-wandering involves negative self-referential processing, while trait cognitive reappraisal (CR) may reduce negative affect. This study assessed associations between CR, negative mind-wandering, and EEG microstate C metrics associated with default mode network activation. Microstate C and negative mind-wandering were linked in participants with high, but not low, CR.
