What's interesting is that electrical

waves of the internal physical places

in your brain, maintains the architecture

of their corresponding sound wave

in a non-auditory place of the brain that

is responsible for speech formulation.

In an experiment where patients read

in their head, created signals

in their brain not from sound waves,

but electromagnetic signals which

maintained the architecture of

sound waves corresponding to as if

words were said out loud.

There are two "known" codes of human language

that we can decode;

sound waves and electrical waves

created by sound, this could be taken

advantage of to explore the third one.

An electro code generated in the absence

of sound. The words in your head.
