神经科学领域的“静息状态”研究被描述为预示着功能神经成像的范式转变。由于这一新领域一直是认知神经科学内部精神生活理论发展的核心，我们在这里绘制和分析它的出现，以及对神经科学内外的大脑、自我和主体性概念化的潜在影响。这篇文章追溯了如何通过将最初针对不同神经生理学和神经心理学问题的单独研究努力结合在一起，使“休息状态”和“默认模式”成为科学研究的对象。在这个过程中，“休息”--作为停止运动或劳动的象征--发生了变化：大脑、内心的精神生活--以及潜在的自我--被这一领域的研究人员概念化为永远具有生产力并面向未来。
The neuroscientific field of 'resting state' research has been described as heralding a paradigm shift in functional neuroimaging. As this new field has been central to the development of a cognitive neuroscientific theory of inner mental life, we here map and analyse its emergence and potential implications for conceptualizations of brain, self and subjectivity within and beyond the neurosciences. The article traces how the 'resting state' and 'default mode' became visible as objects of scientific enquiry through the yoking together of what were initially separate research endeavours addressing different neurophysiological and neuropsychological questions. In the process, 'rest' - as signifying the cessation of movement or labour - has been transformed: the brain, inner mental life - and potentially the self - are conceptualized by researchers in this field as perpetually productive and oriented towards the future.
