Spontaneous neural activity has become increasingly linked to behavioral and cognitive output. A specific cognitive control mode, proactive control, uses prior information to plan and prepare the brain to be particularly sensitive to incoming goal-directed stimuli. Little is known about specific proactive mechanisms implemented via preparatory patterns of spontaneous neural activity, that may enable dynamically enhanced cognitive performance. In this study, humans implanted with intracranial electrodes performed a simple cognitive task. For each subject, pre-trial spectral power and communicability-based features from both grey and white matter nodes were extracted to identify preparatory control states that were "primed to perform". The anatomical structure and topology of these states across subjects demonstrated a critical role for white matter communicability in decoding and intrinsically controlling preparatory network activity. Our results provide novel insights for putative cognitive network control and may be studied to develop prosthetic approaches for individuals with cognitive deficits.
