@eshear similar complication here https://t.co/53BcuVOKj1
@visakanv @eshear I fixed my inner monologue. I can turn it off and on now. its really fun.https://t.co/ocvQjP5owj
You can fix this by eating more niacin and promoting natural serotonin production to boost activity in the hippocampus pyramidal cells. The chaos of different memories being inadvertently activated and then filtering thru Broca's area is what most people's 'inner monologue" is. https://t.co/REL1e8gMpP
@visakanv @eshear MIT made a device that can detect subvocalization a while back... if covid hadn't hit, i'd be tweeting while I'm asleep right now. I found someone who is making something like this and its really freaking cool.https://t.co/joIPLyxBjW
@visakanv @eshear The trick is learning how to count differently,https://t.co/x269Za3MuD
@vgr Found a vid by Feynman where he breaks down that assumption and describes the process of subvocalization thru language/music vs visual-spatial processing. It seems I don't think of code w/ language, but visual-spatially. Might be why I can multitask that.https://t.co/ZbHFibYkRu
@DRMacIver In that case the thing you’re drafting is the sequence of words…I’m trying to understand what it would even mean to draft a monologue in your head without having a monologue in your head at the same time. You can design eg an image without words. But not without mental imagery!
