EEG microstates: Functional significance and short-term test-retest reliability by Elena Antonova, Martin Holding, Ho Chak Suen, Alex Sumich, Reinoud Maex, Chrystopher Nehaniv

“…Of the first-order microstate parameters, average microstate duration was most reliable. The duration of class D microstate was longer during mind-wandering (106.8 ms) than verbalization (102.2 ms) or visualization (99.8 ms), with a concomitantly higher coverage (36.4% vs. 34.7% and 35.2%), but otherwise there was no clear association of the four microstate classes to particular mental states. …”
