Abstract

We examined eye movements of mind-wandering during scene viewing. Overall, fixations were fewer, longer, and less spread during mind-wandering. Moreover, the similarity between scan-paths during mind-wandering was lower compared to the similarity between scan-paths during on-task episodes, suggesting that gaze control is less constrained by the task during mind-wandering.
