Chapter 4 endnote 6, from How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Some context is:
...intrinsic brain activity is the origin of dreams, daydreams, imagination, mind wandering, and reveries, which we collectively called simulation in chapter 2.
Intrinsic activity is also called "task-free" activity (when the brain is not being probed by an outside stimulus or task), "default mode" activity, and "the resting state."[1]
