Fascinating stuff. I love that we're learning more about the variations in how we experience thoughts and the world itself.

I kinda envy these folks. My internal voice never shuts up.
Have you tried just "playing" music in your head instead? Most of the time, I'm just thinking instrumental music.
I do get music stuck there often but I've never tried being intentional about it. I'll give it a try
Mine either only runs some of the time or it's all the time and I'm too distracted with more abstract thought to notice. I'm not sure which.
Yeah there are good days where i can give the static something (like an old actors name or sports stat) to chew on but other days im trying to think while 'national anthem' by Radiohead is banging around up there
I do my best thinking when a song is playing in my head. Might be an ADHD thing. Need to occupy some mental processes so I don't get distracted.
Do you hear Thom's voice in your head?
8 was talking about the cacophany of horns at the end really. If i have thoms voice stuck in my head it's a pretty good day
You mean the best part?
Haha i hope it's obvious that i love radiohead. Its just I was listening to it on one of my "bad brain" days and i thought to myself "this song is somehow expressing just what it feels like inside my stormy brain"
All too relatable.
Never heard of that before but I usually don't have a voice inside my head talking to me unless I consciously do it. Usually I use my "internal audio" to play music while I'm doing stuff. Then again, my internal monologue is often external anyways.
