Voluntary modulation of mental effort: an Active Inference model
This study has important clinical implications, as deficits in effort regulation are common in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, this computational approach offers a novel framework for inferring internal cognitive and motivational states from behavioral performance, with potential applications in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric and neurological conditions.
