Fig 1.
Example time series with different Hurst exponents.
Note: The time series have the same mean and standard deviation but different temporal structures. Panel (a) is an antipersistent time series with H = 0.1, while panels (b) and (c) reflect random and persistent processes with H = 0.5 and H = 0.9, respectively.

Metronome response task setup.
Note: Participants completed the experiment on their personal computer. While participants did the task, keypress instructions were displayed on the screen. Participants pressed ‘M’ in response to a tone and ‘Z’ whenever they found themselves having task-unrelated thoughts. Participants completed the task under all four metronome conditions.
