Inner Speech: Development, Cognitive Functions, Phenomenology, and Neurobiology (2015, background): “…have not adopted behavioral controls to check whether inner speech is actually produced during scanning experiments, relying instead on participants’ self-reported acquiescence with the task (this problem is also faced in auditory imagery research; see Zatorre & Halpern, 2005, for a discussion).”
A review and synthesis of the first 20 years of PET and fMRI studies of heard speech, spoken language and reading (2012, background): “…(Hasegawa et al., 2004), when producing rhythmic finger sequences that had been learnt with an auditory cue (Bengtsson et al., 2005) and when imagining heard speech, music or environmental sounds in the absence of sound (Aleman et al., 2005; Bunzeck et al., 2005; Zatorre and Halpern, 2005).”
Neural Substrates of Spontaneous Musical Performance: An fMRI Study of Jazz Improvisation (2008, background): “A significant number of recent studies have used functional neuroimaging methods to investigate the perception of musical stimuli by the human brain [1–10].”
When the brain plays music: auditory–motor interactions in music perception and production (2007, background): “Previous neuroimaging studies have consistently reported activity in the SMA and premotor areas, as well as in auditory cortices when non-musicians imagine hearing musical excerpt”
Differences in auditory imagery self-report predict neural and behavioral outcomes. (2015, background): “Cognitive neuroscientists have begun to employ brain imaging technologies to better understand brain mechanisms mediating several modalities of mental imagery, such as vision (Kosslyn et al., 1999), movement (Parsons et al., 1995), and of course audition (Zatorre & Halpern, 2005).”
The brain’s conversation with itself: neural substrates of dialogic inner speech (2015, background): “Similar imagery-generation paradigms have been criticized in related fields (e.g. auditory imagery; Zatorre and Halpern, 2005) and in general it is preferable to include an objective test of inner speech use, such as paradigms that require participants to make rhyming judgements (Geva et al., 2011)…”
The Effect of Imagination on Stimulation: The Functional Specificity of Efference Copies in Speech Processing (2013, background): “…Volume 25, Number 7 primary auditory cortices (e.g., Kraemer, Macrae, Green, & Kelley, 2005; Halpern & Zatorre, 1999; for the discussion about level of top–down induced neural representation depending on task demand, see, e.g., Zatorre & Halpern, 2005; Kosslyn, Ganis, & Thompson, 2001).”
Auditory imagery: empirical findings. (2010, result): “However, there is some question as to whether activation patterns during gaps in Kraemer et al.'s study reflect imagery, as information regarding the length of the continuation of the melody in imagery during a gap was not reported or correlated with fMRI (see Zatorre & Halpern, 2005).”
Analogues of mental simulation and imagination in deep learning (2019, positive): “MBDRL may also inform our understanding of mental imagery across the visual [70], auditory [73], and motor modalities [74].”
Mental imagery of speech: linking motor and perceptual systems through internal simulation and estimation (2012, background): “How much further back the reconstruction process might go seems to depend on the sensory modality and demands of the imagery tasks (Kosslyn and Thompson, 2003; Kraemer et al., 2005; Zatorre and Halpern, 2005).”
Musical activities predispose to involuntary musical imagery (2012, background): “Voluntary imagery (Halpern & Zatorre, 1999; Zatorre & Halpern, 2005) is a universal ability to recall a musical memory.”
Listening to musical rhythms recruits motor regions of the brain. (2008, background): “More interestingly, recruitment of motor regions has also been demonstrated during music perception (Haueisen and Knosche, 2001; Zatorre and Halpern 2005; Bangert et al. 2006; D’Ausilio et al. 2006; Baumann et al. 2007; Lahav et al. 2007), however, the aim of these studies was to provide evidence ”
