Agree, we are not always thinking about what is happening at the moment. For us, a common thing to speculate about something third-party standing, for example, in the tube, dining, or whiling away a boring office routine. Despite the fact that it is often considered the reduction of attention, scientists from the Institute of brain science and consciousness of the max Planck Society in Leipzig and the University of York in Britain have shown that when we "turn" mental "surfing" purposefully, systems involved in cognitive control, working more efficiently. This may explain why some people recovered from this "fermenting thoughts" sometimes a lot of benefits. The work is published in NeuroImage.
