This project aims to better understand the experience of thinking to ourselves in words (inner speech) and how our brains distinguish between this experience and the words others speak to us (external speech). Inner speech is central to our ability to regulate our behaviour and to be self-aware, yet is poorly understood. Furthermore, a breakdown in the ability to distinguish inner speech from external speech underpins the devastating experience of hearing hallucinated voices. This project will address these problems through a novel combination of neuroimaging and neurostimulation techniques. The outcomes will be an improved understanding of these phenomena and information key to the development of new treatments for mental health difficulties.

这个项目旨在更好地理解用文字思考自己的经历(内部言语)，以及我们的大脑如何区分这种经历和别人对我们说的话(外部言语)。内心语言是我们控制行为和自我意识能力的核心，但人们对此知之甚少。此外，区分内心语言和外部语言的能力崩溃，是听到幻觉声音的毁灭性体验的基础。这个项目将通过神经成像和神经刺激技术的新组合来解决这些问题。结果将是对这些现象的更好理解和信息，这些信息是开发治疗精神健康困难的新疗法的关键。
