Abstract

Gilbert et al. suggest that activity in the default network may be due to the emergence of stimulus-oriented rather than stimulus-independent thought. Although both kinds of thought likely emerge during familiar tasks, we argue - and report data suggesting - that stimulus-independent thought dominates unconstrained cognitive periods.
