Even though attention can be shifted every 20-30ms, I imagine boredom as a lack of sufficiently strong and sustained stimulus to the thalamus - causing a shutdown of thalamic activity and thus dysregulation (used in the loosest of ways) in the thalamo-cortico-thalamic circuits such that attention can no longer be properly shifted or modulated. This would explain why, when bored, attention drifts to any object floating through mental imagery and feeds into daydreaming. ~ Jean-Paul Wiegand, ms neuroscience student
