Abstract

The present research aims to assess whether, through a secondary attentional task and EEG recordings, changes in the activity of two orienting networks and two executive attentional networks can be mapped during the subjective experience of flow—defined as focused motivation leading to a feeling of spontaneous joy. Participants were instructed to respond as quickly as possible to a secondary task while playing a game on a primary screen. Since flow is characterized by deep immersion, it was hypothesized that functional connectivity changes in attentional networks might reflect attentional maintenance processes.
