%X Research in cognitive neuroscience employing resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) has experienced an exponential boom since Biswal et al.’s pioneering work in the mid-nineties of the last century, when it was demonstrated that rs-fMRI is capable to reveal enhanced functional connectivity within functional subsystems of the human brain (Biswal et al., 1997, Biswal et al., 1995). Rs-fMRI derives its name from the fact that hemodynamic activity is recorded while participants lie in the MR scanner without any experimental task. Instead, participants are usually instructed to let their minds wander freely and not fall asleep. Under these conditions, the body obviously is in a “resting position”; the brain, however, is never at rest but rather enters a so-called default mode involving increased activity in a set of brain areas that are usually deactivated during externally structured tasks ...
