Who Is Actually Talking In Your Head?

Right now there's probably a voice in your head, narrating your thoughts. But not everyone has one. Some people go their whole lives without an inner monologue, thinking in images, feelings, or something harder to describe, and many had no idea other people were different. In this video we dig into the inner voice: what inner speech really is, the beeper experiment that showed people are often wrong about their own minds, how your inner voice may have started as you talking out loud as a child, why your throat still twitches when you think, the 2024 study that named life without inner speech, aphantasia and the Pixar co-founder who can't picture images, the dark side of the inner voice, and a simple trick to quiet it. Do you have an inner voice? Yes, no, or sometimes? Tell me in the comments.
