AB  - The default mode network (DMN) has been mostly investigated using positron 
      emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and has 
      received mixed support in electroencephalographic (EEG) studies. In this study, 
      after sLORETA transformation of EEG data, we applied group spatial independent 
      component analysis which is routinely used in fMRI research. In three large and 
      diverse samples coming from two different cultures (Russian and Taiwanese), 
      spontaneous EEG data and retrospective questionnaire measures of subject's state, 
      thoughts, and feelings during the EEG registration were collected. Regression 
      analyses showed that appearance of spontaneous self-referential thoughts was best 
      predicted by enhanced alpha activity within the DMN. Diminished theta and delta 
      activity in the superior frontal gyrus and enhanced beta activity in the 
      postcentral gyrus added to the prediction. The enhanced alpha activity prevailed 
      in the posterior DMN hub in Russian, but in the anterior DMN hub in Taiwanese 
      participants. Possible cross-cultural differences in personality and attitudes 
      underlying this difference are discussed.
