The Pupil‐Brain System at Rest: Spontaneous Pupil Fluctuations as Markers of Neuromodulatory and Network Dynamics

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Spontaneous pupil fluctuations (SPFs) during rest provide a non‐invasive, low‐cost index of central arousal dynamics, independent of cognitive task demands. These features position SPFs as promising markers for baseline neurophysiological activity in both basic and translational research. This review synthesizes current evidence on the resting‐
