QotW - 22.03.08 - Where does the voice I hear in my head come from?

Fiona submitted this question to The Naked Scientists

"Please help me understand what thinking is, how it works and how I hear a voice in my head when there is no larynx in the brain. Does the voice in the brain mimic the physical one we produce so if I could listen in to an Australian's thought process would they be thinking with an Australian accent?"

Hi.

I'm not expert on Psychology.

This video seems to answer most of your questions and it seems to be reasonably well researched.

Do You Have an Inner Voice? , Braincraft, produced by PBS digital studios, approx. 2017.

Best Wishes.

Hi again.

I've also just found some discussion of this topic in a Naked Scientists podcast:

https://www.thenakedscientists.com/sites/default/files/media/podcasts/episodes/Naked_Scientists_Show_22.03.08.mp3
(Somewhere in the last 5 minutes of that).

I'm inclined to ask why these questions get posted here in the forum AFTER they've already been answered in the podcasts. I'm going to guess it's to promote some further discussions, i.d.k.

Best Wishes.
