00:00:00.000 | As we read, we are generating very low levels
00:00:03.760 | of motor activity in our throat.
00:00:06.040 | That is, we are speaking the words that we are reading
00:00:09.480 | at a level below the perception of sound
00:00:12.000 | or our own perception of those words.
00:00:14.400 | But if one were to put an amplifier
00:00:16.040 | to measure the firing of those muscles in our vocal cords,
00:00:20.320 | we'd find that as we're reading information,
00:00:22.340 | we are actually speaking that information.
