Have you ever noticed that you have a tiny narrator inside your brain? When you read a book silently or think about your favorite animal, do you hear a voice talking? It turns out, that invisible voice is full of wild scientific secrets! In this mind-bending episode, Mira and Finn explore what exactly the voice in your head really is. You'll discover a secret human superpower called subvocalisation, where your brain sends microscopic signals to your vocal cords to practice talking without making a single sound! We will also travel back to the 1920s to learn how psychologist Lev Vygotsky figured out that our inner voice actually comes from talking out loud when we were little toddlers. But here is the biggest plot twist of all: not everyone has a voice in their head! Learn about psychologist Russell Hurlburt's wacky beeper experiment and find out what it means to have a completely silent mind, known as anendophasia. Do you think in words, pictures, or feelings? Tune in to explore the invisible, unique universe inside your own amazing mind!
