Trait absorption is not reliably associated with brain structure or resting-state functional connectivity by Manesh Girn, R. Nathan Spreng, Daniel S. Margulies, Michiel Van Elk, Michael Lifshitz

“…Additional control analyses further indicated the lack of a reliable brain-absorption relationship, whereas we found a replicable association between the closely related trait of ‘openness to experience’ and resting-state functional connectivity. We conclude that absorption is not reliably associated with brain structure or function in the present datasets and discuss factors that may have contributed to this result. …”
