The salience network drives switching between the default mode network (DMN), active when the brain is not focused on a task, and the central executive network (CEN), active during attention-demanding tasks. Combining dynamic causal modelling with independent component analysis, this work tested network switching in resting-state data from two independent datasets. The results confirm that the salience network is responsible for this switching and demonstrate the repeatability of the novel technique.
