“When you see two different images several times, it becomes important to differentiate. Our observations suggest that daydreaming may guide this process by distancing the neural patterns associated with the two images from each other.“explained Nghia Nguyen, co-author of the study, to The Harvard Gazette.
It is interesting to note that mice arrived better to differentiate the two images checkerboard when they let their minds wander.
Daydreaming might therefore have an impact on brain plasticity.
However, further scientific work is needed to prove with certainty the existence of this causal relationship.
Regardless, researchers are convinced of the need to take mental breaks from time to time. “We are convinced that if you never give yourself rest time while awakeyou won’t have as many opportunities to daydream, which may be important for brain plasticity“, said Mark Andermann. What to do for you relieve oneself of guilt if you are caught deep in thought during a meeting.
