First seen Mar 19, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at how the brain manages inner speech—the voice inside your head. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) to see which areas are active when people talk to themselves silently. They aim to understand why some people have no inner voice and how this relates to mental health conditions like anxiety or depression. 60 healthy adults will take part.
