Abstract

Trait mindfulness (TM) has been linked to differences in first-time meditators. This study assessed the influence of TM on mind-wandering (MW) and EEG Microstate C metrics (N = 30). High TM was linked to a greater proportion of positive content during MW, but was not associated with Microstate C.
