Inner Dialogues, Monologues and Stone Cold Silence

Ever wonder about that voice narrating your thoughts—or wondered why some people don't seem to have one at all? Josh and Chuck dive into the surprisingly murky science of inner speech, exploring how researchers are attempting to study something entirely subjective, the many different flavors this inner voice can take (from rapid-fire "condensed" thoughts to full-blown imagined arguments between other people), and what it means when someone thinks in images, feelings, or nothing verbal whatsoever. Along the way, they get into childhood development, speed-of-thought record holders, and some genuinely wild personal anecdotes that'll have you questioning what's actually happening inside your own head.
