Simultaneous EEG and fMRI recordings in resting subjects with eyes open showed that fluctuations in frontal theta power are not positively correlated with brain activity in any area. Instead, strong negative correlations were found in regions that together form the default mode network, indicating that frontal theta activity serves as an EEG marker of default mode network deactivation.
