| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to elucidate the functional role and the neural mechanisms of spontaneous blinking. Using magnetoencephalography, we have revealed that each blink leads to a state transition to the default mode network. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated using functional resonance imaging that the salience network is involved in monitoring one's own state, while the default mode network is involved in monitoring the states of others. Additionally, our findings show that blinking-induced resets of brain networks affect cognitive states and memory recall rate. These discoveries suggest that blinking may have a proactive influence on brain information processing and cognitive functions.
