Accents

If a person whose post I'm reading is a Brit, I read it with a British accent in my head. -//- Danish, I just come up with something that sounds Scandinavian ('cause I don't know what Danish accent exactly sounds like). Depends on the nationality.

I was using simplistic layman terms, sure it would require a different form of detector - EEG's simply measure the electrical impulses of neurons within the brain and to do that all that is needed is a pair of electrodes and some saline solution; similarly any disturbance of an electromagnetic field created by the flow of electricity from one neuron to another (which is more what thought is likely to be) could be detected using an induction coil; and it is not implausible that both these phenomena occurring within the brain cause involuntary movement in the vocal chords which, while not voiced, could be made audible, As I do know how a microphone works, all of the component parts needed to make detectors of all these measurable events can be fabricated from a microphone. However. None of these would enable us to hear what these accents sound like in someone's head, brainwaves themselves don't transmit thought information, they are a measure of brain activity relating to various tasks. if only....
