The overarching aim of this project is to develop an objective, electrophysiological marker capable of identifying the auditory properties of a person’s inner speech, which is defined as the silent production of words in one’s mind. This will be accomplished by combining novel experimental paradigms with advanced brain signal analyses. This marker would represent a historically significant event, placing Australia at the forefront of cognitive science. It would provide deep insight into the fundamental nature of inner speech, such as whether it is a “special form” of overt speech, and would inform the ongoing development of brain-computer interfaces aimed at deciphering inner speech for people who are unable to produce overt speech.

该项目的首要目标是开发一种客观的电生理标记，能够识别一个人的内心言语的听觉特性，内心言语被定义为一个人心中无声的言语产生。这将通过将新颖的实验范例与先进的脑信号分析相结合来实现。这个标志将代表一个具有历史意义的事件，使澳大利亚处于认知科学的前沿。它将提供深入了解内部言语的基本性质，例如它是否是公开言语的“特殊形式”，并将为正在进行的旨在为无法产生公开言语的人破译内部言语的脑机接口的开发提供信息。
