Maybe. Maybe not. AFAIK, it's not something you've lost, you just never had it, so the way to deal is just normal for you

I think that's probably right. I think if you lost it, your brain would have a tougher time working things out

Too much criticism for this work is coming to mind, but I hope they keep going and design experiments not just resting state.
