Howe ver\, much evidence has accrued in recent years to indicate that such task s activate the brain system for vocal-motor planning as well\, suggesting that subvocalization serves a critical mediating role in the cognition of music and speech. The most ubiquitous manifestation of subvocalization is the inner voice that the majority of people experience throughout their da ily lives. In this talk\, I will describe the subvocalization system of th e human brain and argue that it is implicated in virtually all aspects of speech and music processing.\n\nWhen: January 28\, 2026\, 3:00-4:30pm foll owed by a cocktail\n Where: Université de Montréal\, Pavillon Marie-Victori n\, Room D-427\n\nRegister here.\n DTSTART:20260128T200000Z DTEND:20260128T213000Z LOCATION:CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H2V 2T2\, Université de Montréal\, Pavillon M arie-Victorin\, Room D-427 SUMMARY:BRAMS-CRBLM Lecture Series - Steven Brown URL:/brain-language-music/channels/event/brams-crblm-l ecture-series-steven-brown-371879 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
