Inner speech refers to the silent production of language in one’s mind. As a purely mental action without obvious physical manifestations, inner speech has been notoriously difficult to quantify. Inner speech is thought to be closely related to overt speech. Overt speech has been consistently shown to elicit reduced auditory-evoked potentials compared to externally-generated speech (a phenomenon known as speaking-induced suppression), as well as changes in oscillatory activity in the gamma and theta frequency bands. Given the functional similarities between inner and overt speech, the present study used a novel experimental protocol to investigate whether these metrics can be used to distinguish the content of a person’s inner speech. Healthy control participants (n = 129) produced an inner syllable at a precisely specified time. An audible syllable was concurrently presented which either matched or mismatched the content of the inner syllable. The N1 component of the auditory evoked potential was suppress...

I. Memming Park, a faculty member part of Stony Brook University’s Research Experience for Undergraduates program, shares how opening your lab to undergrads for the summer can lead to many positive impacts, such as bringing new energy that can move projects forward and helping undergrads to experience the joys of research. This Q&A is part of a series that explores how undergraduate summer research programs impact students and the labs who host them.
