A new model developed by researchers at MIT and the University of Washington predicts human goals or actions more accurately than previous models. The latent inference budget model identifies patterns in human or machine decision-making and uses this information to forecast behavior.
- The format of human thought is a subject of debate, with some people visualizing images and others relying on an internal voice or both.
- Aphantasia is a condition where an individual cannot visualize images in their mind's eye, while anendophasia is the absence of an inner voice or inner speech.
- A study by Nedergaard and Lupyan found that people with more inner speech recalled more words in a verbal memory task and were faster and more accurate in a rhyming task compared to those with less inner speech. However, they did not differ in task-switching or same/different tasks.
- The study suggests that people with less inner speech may use a different form of thinking called "unsymbolized thinking."
- Most people use a combination of visual imagery, an internal voice, or both when thinking, but not everyone does.

We measured both undirected FC (correlation in the time domain, coherence in the frequency domain) and directed FC (Granger causality, in both time and frequency domains) on the same data.
