TOKYO EXPRESS by Seichō Matsumoto, translated by Jesse Kirkwood, chosen by Sir Ian Blatchford THE LETTERS OF ABELARD AND HELOISE, translated by Betty Radice, chosen by Charles Fernyhough SOLDIERS OF SALAMIS by Javier Cercas, translated by Anne McLean, chosen by Harriett GilbertDirector of the Science Museum group and president of the Royal Literary Fund, Sir Ian Blatchford, chooses a cult classic from 1958 for his good read. A double love suicide wrapped up in suspicious government corruption and a whodunnit hinging on train timetables, Sir Ian makes the case for one of his favourite books.Travelling to the middle ages for Charles Fernyhough's pick, The Letters of Abelard and Heloise were once much more widely known than they are today. Charles, an amateur medievalist alongside being an author, musician and Professor of Psychology at Durham University, recommends this book as one of the greatest love stories of all time. The letters of Heloise he especially believes should be celebrated, as they showcase a great early feminist philosopher and writer.Presenter Harriett Gilbert's good read takes readers into the Spanish Civil War: Soldiers of Salamis by Javier Cercas, from 2001. This is a book exploring the role of memory when unpicking the past, and asks questions about whether we can ever remember what really happened. What will the others make of it?Producer: Eliza Lomas for BBC Audio, Bristol Join the book club on Instagram, @agoodreadbbc

Many of us experience an inner voice: we silently talk to ourselves as we go about our daily lives. CrowdScience listener Fredrick has been wondering about the science behind this interior dialogue. We hear from psychologists researching our inner voice and discover that it's something that begins in early childhood. Presenter Caroline Steel meets Russell Hurlburt, a pioneering scientist who devised a method of researching this - and volunteers to monitor her own inner speech to figure out what's going on in her mind. She discovers that speech is just part of what's going on in our heads, much of our inner world in fact doesn't involve language at all but includes images, sensations and feelings. Caroline talks to psychologist Charles Fernyhough, who explains one theory for how we develop an interior dialogue as young children: first speaking out loud to ourselves and then learning to keep that conversation going silently. No one really knows how this evolved, but keeping our thoughts quiet may have been a way of staying safe from predators and enemies. Using MRI scanning, Charles and Russell have peered inside people's brains to understand this interior voice and found something surprising: inner dialogue appears to have more in common with listening than with speaking. Caroline also has an encounter with a robot that has been programmed to dialogue with itself. Which leads us to some deep questions: is our inner voice part of what makes us human, and if so, what are the consequences of robots developing this ability? Scientist Arianna Pipitone describes it as a step towards artificial consciousness.Featuring: Professor Charles Fernyhough, University of Durham, UK Professor Russell Hurlburt, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA Dr Arianna Pipitone, University of Palermo, Italy Presenter: Caroline Steel Producer: Jo Glanville Editor: Cathy Edwards Sound design: Julian Wharton Studio manager: Donald MacDonald Production co-ordinator: Ishmael Soriano(Image: Mixed Race boy looking up Credit: Jose Luis Pelaez Inc via Getty Images)

Many of us talk to ourselves in our heads pretty much all day long. But it turns out that there are plenty of people who don't. In fact, thinking comes in many shapes and sizes, and no two minds are exactly alike. In this episode, we explore the peculiar world of how we think, and consider the pros and cons of inner speech.

Novelist and psychologist Charles Fernyhough discusses his fascinating research on the phenomena of hearing voices. Some people have a "voice in their head" and others don't. Some people "hear voices" other than their own and don't view it as a pathology. Others find it distressing. This episode considers what the research has to say about human consciousness and subjectivity.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ Dr. Charles Fernyhough is a Professor of Psychology at Durham University, and Director of the Centre for Research into Inner Experience. He has contributed to the understanding of how language and thought are related in child development and beyond. The focus of his recent scientific work has been in applying ideas from mainstream developmental psychology to the study of psychosis, particularly the phenomenon of voice-hearing. In this episode, we talk about inner speech, imaginary companions, and hallucinations. We start with inner speech, how it develops in children, its connection to language, its functions, its neuroscience, and rumination. We then talk about imaginary companions, why children have them, how they influence how they think about their real-life friends, and their link to inner speech. We also discuss auditory verbal hallucinations, their neuroscience (with a focus on resting state networks and the default mode network); how people sometimes personalize the voices they hear; musical hallucinations; and multimodal hallucinations. Finally, we discuss how to think about distinguishing clinical from non-clinical conditions. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, JONATHAN VISSER, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, MIKKEL STORMYR, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, MORTEN EIKELAND, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

¿Conoces Nuestra Escuela de Ansiedad? https://escuelaansiedad.com/escuela-de-ansiedad-landing-page/ Web: http://www.amadag.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Asociacion.Agorafobia/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amadag.psico/ Youtube Amadag TV: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC22fPGPhEhgiXCM7PGl68rw A menudo se nos hace muy difícil explicar a otras personas nuestros estados mentales o cómo pensamos. No todo el mundo cuando piensa lo hace desde una voz interior, por ejemplo, existen personas cuya experiencia mental es más visual. Esto lo explica el psicólogo y ensayista inglés Charles Fernyhough en su libro The Voices Within: The History and Science of How We Talk to Ourselves (“Las voces de nuestro interior: la historia y la ciencia de cómo hablamos con nosotros mismos”). En él recoge los estudios que se han hecho sobre esa voz interior que todos más o menos reconocemos, y asegura que es un fenómeno muy frecuente a la hora de pensar, pero que existen diferencias entre personas: algunas recurriendo a ese monólogo interior constantemente, otras que sólo a veces, y otras que nunca o casi nunca acuden a lo verbal, pero sí a través de imágenes. La verdad es que, por lo general, pensamos mucho con palabras. Durante gran parte del tiempo, utilizamos el lenguaje como una herramienta que nos ayuda a estructurar lo que pensamos, y nos ayuda a crear nuestra narrativa autobiográfica, es decir, a contarnos lo que nos ha pasado. Esos diálogos internos, son una especie de voz en off de nuestras vidas, gracias a los que podemos evaluar y dar contexto a nuestros recuerdos, ideas y planes de futuro. Pensar, entendiéndolo como el dialogando interno que llevamos con nosotros mismos, conlleva ciertas características: Ser conscientes, en el sentido de que sabemos lo que pensamos. Es dependiente del lenguaje que hemos aprendido (con las facilidades y dificultades que ello implique a la hora de simbolizar y fijar conceptos, sobre todo los que nos resultan menos familiares o abstractos). Es un acontecimiento privado, ya que los otros no acceden a él. Es coherente, en el sentido de que encaja en un flujo de ideas. Es activo, ya que es algo que se hace y uno reconoce como propio.

On this talking shop episode, we focussed on two academic articles. Sarah discussed an article titled, "'I've Learned I Need to Treat My Characters Like People': Varieties of Agency and Interaction in Writers' Experiences of Their Characters' Voices", by John Foxwell, Ben Alderson-Day, Charles Fernyhough, and Angela Woods. Ashley reviewed an article called "Hideous Progeny - Examining how the failings of science and technology have informed a range of dystopian texts", by Paul Taylor-McCartney. You can find both articles here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053810019304155 https://www.nawe.co.uk/DB/current-wip-edition-2/articles/x16-hideous-progeny-by-paul-taylor-mccartney.html

Welcome to your brain on writing. The podcast where we unpack the experience of reading and writing and try to understand what it does to our brains. This podcast was produced by Professor Inger Mewburn from The Australian National University and Associate Professor Paul Magee from the University of Canberra. Paul and Inger write books and teach writing. They also share a fascination with way words on a page can become images in our minds, or ideas in our hearts. This podcast series was made with the assistance of undergraduate student interns from the Centre for Public Awareness of Science at the Australian National University. This episode is about that little voice you hear inside your head when you read, and maybe when you write. Why is reading silently more like listening to yourself talk? What is inner speech for and why is it important? This episode was researched, written and narrated by Rosie Goggs and contains interview segments from inner speech researchers Ben Alderson-Day and Charles Fernyhough.The next episode in this series will be about that little voice inside your head that you ‘hear' when you read. You might be surprised to learn how useful it can be.

Today, Lulu and Latif talk about some of their favorite episodes from Radiolab’s past that hold new power today.   Lulu points to an episode from 2008:  Imagine that you're a composer. Imagine getting the commission to write a song that will allow family members to face the death of a loved one. Well, composer David Lang had to do just that when a hospital in Garches, France, asked him to write music for their morgue, or 'Salle Des Departs.' What do you do? This piece was produced by Jocelyn Gonzales. And Latif talks about an episode Jad made in 2009. Here’s how we described it back then: Jad--a brand new father--wonders what's going on inside the head of his baby Amil. (And don't worry, you don't need kids to enjoy this podcast.) The questions here are big: what is it like to be so brand new to the world? None of us have memories from this time, so how could we possibly ever know? Is it just chaos? Or, is there something more, some understanding from the very beginning? Jad found a development psychologist named Charles Fernyhough to explore some of his questions.

How real are our conceptions? And if they're real – if the mental world has substance of some kind – then what about imaginary companions and the voices we hear when we reason with ourselves? Are they disturbances or auditory perceptions? What role can they play in fostering self-reliance, and in child development and learning as a whole? Welcome to the ninth instalment of The Neuromantics, your monthly guide through the disputed territory between science and literature. In this episode, we're looking at inner voices and self-reflection, the emotions they carry, their cause and purpose. Are they, in some cases, a simple response to absence? Two Old English poems from the tenth century – The Seafarer and The Wife's Lament – feature narrators who wrestle with separation and solitude in different ways. And our journal paper, Imaginary Companions, Inner Speech, and Auditory Hallucinations, by Charles Fernyhough et al, takes things further: how might the “experiential crossing” of internal dialogue with such companions serve other imaginative acts – fiction, poetry, and drama, for instance? Finally, when the inner life appears more real than its outward expression, should we worry?

Today is the 44th episode of Everything Under the Sun, a weekly podcast answering all the most pressing questions children around the world have about life on earth.Our first question comes from Violet and Tabitha who are twins! They would like to know where identical twins come from? To answer their question we have Dr. Chris van Tulleken who is a doctor AND an identical twin! So find out everything about how baby identical twins are made. It's amazing that if you're an identical twin there is another person who looks just like you moving around the world!The second question is from Allie and it is about baby penguins. She asks why do the feathers of baby penguins change when they get older? We talk about how baby penguins need soft warm feathers and why they change when they get big. Then we head back to human babies, with a question about talking from Iris who asks how do babies learn to talk? Charles Fernyhough wrote a book about his daughter Athena and how she grew up and he answers her question brilliantly, telling us how babies learn the pattern and sounds of the language their family speaks inside their Mummy's tummy and can easily learn different languages when they're born.Last week we had a competition to win a copy of Oliver Jeffers' new book, The Fate of Fausto, it's about a man who is so greedy he wants to own everything on the earth, including a flower, a sheep, a mountain and even the sea instead of just appreciating the world's beauty and letting it be.Hear are our favourite answers and find out who won! A huge thank you the wonderful Dr. Chris for talking to us about identical twins and to Charles Fernyhough for chatting to us about babies and how they learn to talk and of course a big thank you to Iris, Allie, Violet and Tabitha for this week's questions! Thank you also to Harper Collins children's books and Oliver Jeffers for the copy of The Fate of Fausto!

In this podcast, Dr Raj Persaud talks to Charles Fernyhough about his 2016 book looking into the history and science behind hearing voices. He argues that we should avoid the pejorative term ‘hallucinations’ by using the more neutral term ‘voice hearing’, and puts forward the idea that inner speech is a highly varied phenomenon that can also serve a beneficial purpose.

点击每期节目可以看到具体文稿内容The Running Conversation in Your HeadWhat a close study of "inner speech" reveals about why humans talk to themselvesBy Julie BeckLanguage is the hallmark of humanity—it allows us to form deep relationships and complex societies. But we also use it when we're all alone; it shapes even our silent relationships with ourselves. In his book, The Voices Within, Charles Fernyhough gives a historical overview of “inner speech”—the more scientific term for “talking to yourself in your head.”Fernyhough, a professor at Durham University in the U.K., says that inner speech develops alongside social speech. This idea was pioneered by Lev Vygotsky, a Russian psychologist who studied children in the 1920s and noted that when they learned to talk to other humans, they also learned how to talk to themselves, first out loud, and eventually, in their heads.Inner speech, Fernyhough writes, isn't bound by many of the conventions of verbal speech. For one, we can produce it much faster when we don't have to go at the pace required to use tongues and lips and voice boxes. One researcher the book cites clocks inner speech at an average pace of 4,000 words per minute—10 times faster than verbal speech. And it's often more condensed—we don't have to use full sentences to talk to ourselves, because we know what we mean.But it does maintain many of the characteristics of dialogue. We may imagine an exchange with someone else, or we may just talk to ourselves. But that doesn't mean it's not a conversation. Our minds contain many different perspectives, and they can argue or confer or talk over each other.“We are all fragmented,” Fernyhough writes. “There is no unitary self. We are all in pieces, struggling to create the illusion of a coherent ‘me' from moment to moment.”968重庆之声每周一至周五8点56分每天三分钟养成良好英语听说习惯

His new book, The Voices Within: The History and Science of How We Talk to Ourselves The stages of speech in childhood development and how it relates to our inner voice in life The theory that says that our internal speech comes from external speech that we hear/the dialogue we hear as a child which we eventually move inward and it becomes our internal speech Vygotsky's theory What inner speech does for us Inner speech plays a role in regulating behavior It has a role in imagination and creativity It has a role in creating a self That the fact that we create and construct a self, doesn't mean that it is an illusion The theory that says that inner speech is how we bring different parts of our brain together into a coherent narrative How using inner speech skillfully can give us significant advantages in life That talking out loud to yourself actually probably serves some useful function Social speech - private speech - inner speech As the task gets more difficult, children and adults move from inner speech to more private speech How difficult it is to study inner speech The dialogic thinking model How his research that shows it can be helpful to teach mentally ill people who hear voices in their head to think differently about this form of inner speech Theories about why people hear different voices in their head That there is a strong correlation between childhood trauma and hearing voices in one's head as an adult That people hear the voices of the people in books that they've read Experiential crossing How to work with your inner speech to improve the quality of the experience of your life How difficult it is to silence your inner voice so it's better to learn how to productively interact with it, even dialogue with it     Please Support The Show with a Donation

Two years ago, authors at the Book Festival took part in a major study into the multiple inner voices that make up human consciousness. Now the leader of that project, psychologist Charles Fernyhough, has completed a major book on the subject, which he discusses with Richard Holloway in this event recorded live at the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival. The Voices Within weaves human anecdotes with research to demonstrate how inner voices have a far more important role in consciousness than science has previously acknowledged.

Charles Fernyhough, Ben Alderson-Day, Peter Moseley and Sam Wilkinson explore the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying hearing voices and the link between voice-hearing and inner speech. Produced by Andrea Rangecroft for Hearing Voices: suffering, inspiration and the everyday.

We tune in to the voices inside our heads with the psychologist Charles Fernyhough and the novelist Francesca Kay

On Start the Week Andrew Marr talks to the psychologist Charles Fernyhough about the inner speech in our heads. But what if it's a lone voice? The writer Olivia Laing explores what it's like to be lonely in a bustling city, while the playwright Alistair McDowall explores what happens when you're abandoned on a distant planet with no sense of time. The biographer Frances Wilson writes a tale of hero-worship, betrayal and revenge through the life of Thomas De Quincey, a man who modelled his opium-habit on Coleridge and his voice and writing on Wordsworth. Producer: Katy Hickman.

This podcast features a lecture by Professor Charles Fernyhough on 'The Voices in Our Heads'. It was recorded on Thursday 4 June 2015. Abstract: A dominant psychological model of voice-hearing holds that it involves a disturbance to the process by which inner speech—our ordinary internal dialogue—is attributed to the self. Accounting for the phenomenological richness and varied pragmatics of voice-hearing requires, however, an equally nuanced conception of the functional and structural heterogeneity of the ordinary voices in our heads. Professor Fernyhough reviews some key recent findings on voice-hearing and inner speech, and explores their implications for three main areas of enquiry: the paradox of the apparent ubiquity of inner speech, the value of reading some forms of voice-hearing as inner dialogue rather than as atypical communicative acts, and the dynamic interaction in voice-hearing of inner speech and memory.

Andrew Marr discusses how far the brain can change and adapt with the neuroscientist Heidi Johansen-Berg. Decades ago it was thought that the adult brain was immutable but later research has shown that even brains damaged by stroke have the capacity to adapt. The writer Ben Shephard looks back to the turn of the 20th century and the birth of modern neuroscience, while the novelist Charles Fernyhough asks whether knowing more about the way the brain works will have as big an impact as the findings of Darwin and Freud. The clinical psychologist, Mark Williams, is interested in how we can relieve the despair of feeling trapped in our thoughts, and is one of the pioneers of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. Producer: Katy Hickman.

As we strive to protect our children's imaginations from negative influences, are we running an even greater risk – of starving those imaginations altogether? Writer Patrick Ness, author of the ‘Chaos Walking' trilogy, and Dr Charles Fernyhough, whose writing examines the development of childhood language and memories, join Matthew Sweet to explore what stimulates young minds and how children cope in an unstable world. Recorded on Saturday 26th October 2013 in front of a live audience at Sage Gateshead as part of Radio 3's Free Thinking festival.

Charles Fernyhough on the 'rush to the neuro' in the popular press, can neuroscience can explain the human experience, if there is such a thing as neurotruth - and how it might affect the way we see ourselves.

Airport Scanners to help with Distorted Body Image People with eating disorders often have a distorted view of their own bodies. Researchers at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen are now using 3-D body scanners to test whether giving this accurate feedback of body shape could help in the treatment of life-threatening illnesses like anorexia and bulimia. Chit-Lit, Scandi-Lit...now Neuro-Lit ! Why neuroscience is taking a leading role in the modern novel. Claudia Hammond talks to science writer, Jonah Lehrer, and to academic psychologist and writer, Charles Fernyhough, about the emergence of brain science in literature and considers whether new understanding of the brain can enrich fiction in the same way that Darwinism or Psychoanalysis did. Teenagers' Brains and Social Rejection It's long been known that adolescents are particularly vulnerable to being left out. They get hurt and feel the rejection very keenly. Research by Dr Catherine Sebastian at the Developmental Risk and Resilience Unit at University College London suggests this response could be explained by the developing teenage brain. Producer: Fiona Hill.

The first formative years of life are critical for the development of the human brain. Yet, any memories from those early years are typically forgotten. What is it like inside the mind of a baby? On this program, Dr. Charles Fernyhough discussed a thousand days of wonder.
