my wandering mind - (Jul/01/2009 )

I too have a voice in my mind talking to me .. . it's not just U, Dom. Plus, sometimes I wonder if someone can actually hear the voice that is talking to me . . a bit phobic there.

Dream might be another vast yet not much explored subject which has always been mystery for us. Like, do animals dream?

Dom's first post here made me think a little harder than usual. We remember people by their faces usually. If I am talking of Dom then I think of someone with dark face but light colored triangular ears, etc etc . .the face of the person comes to our mind. . but how do blind people remember people? Just relating them to their names (?braille). . I want to ask this to someone who is blind from birth someday.

good to know i aint going nuts i spose

i dont have an accent so its not supprising my internal voice doesnt either - but i wonder if i did would it too

do geordies think with geordie accents

do androids dream of electric sheep?

dom

trinity - that was it

My German friend says she usually thinks to herself in English but when counting in her head she uses the German because it feels un-natural to count in English

"can a deaf person hear a voice in their head?"

I also have a deaf friend who recently had a cochlear implant removed as she couldn't concentrate because of all the noise so I guess all is silent in her head when she thinks

I guess this is a quite good source for this. Read the post by alannie, it sounds (what a word here...) good and even for the non-deaf understandable.
As deaf by birth people have to think and can think perhaps they use the learning ways and techniques that all babies use (who first cannot speak but there is also something going on it their brains and they have intellectual abilities, otherwise they would not learn language at all). Perhaps we would not understand finally the think-language of a deaf person, because it develops in their own way (i.e. different pronounced), but they have a language too. The human brain is complex and extremely flexible and finds its way to get it.

thanks hob

i love the concept of thinking via the feeling of imagined arm movements rather than an etherial voice

spooky
