In an ever-changing environment, flexible control of behaviour is crucial for survival. Across species, adaptive processes like attention and motivation manifest as flexibly fluctuating, brain-wide states. Although these states likely share commonalities across species, classical tasks are highly species-specific, preventing direct cross-species comparisons.Here we examine naturalistic fluctuations of attention across three species—mice, monkeys, and humans—completing the same highly immersive virtual reality (VR) foraging task (Fig.1A). This allows us to continuously track behavioural decisio
