"The results of this study show that areas in the left frontal and temporal lobe that have been implicated in the phonological analysis of spoken words are also activated during the generation and phonological analysis of imagined speech. This was accomplished with the use of a novel task that allowed the neural assessment of auditory--verbal imagery (internally generating and ‘perceiving’ imagined speech) in a behaviorally controlled design. Conditions were compared in which the subjects (i) actually heard spoken words or (ii) imagined hearing spoken words, and subsequently discriminated between weak-initial words and strong-initial words (metrical stress evaluation). Extensive activation was observed in language production areas in the left hemisphere: SMA, inferior frontal gyrus (Broca’s area) and insula. These regions have typically been shown to be activated also in tasks of silent verbal fluency (Cuenod et al., 1995; Ojemann et al., 1998; Lurito et al., 2000), and silent reading of words and pseudowords (Hagoort et al., 1999). Consistent with previous language-related studies on phoneme monitoring, phoneme/syllable counting and word rhyming (for a review, Poldrack et al., 1999), it is of interest to note the implication of the inferior frontal gyrus in phonological processing and not merely speech production (Wise et al., 1999)."<ref name="Aleman2004">Aleman, A., Formisano, E., Koppenhagen, H., Hagoort, P., De Haan, E.

"The most popular cognitive theory of AVHs is arguably that many are the result of internal cognitive events, such as inner speech, being misattributed to an external or alien source (Waters et al., 2012a). Various models have suggested that this could be due to a specific deficit in the monitoring of one's own actions, known as self-monitoring (Frith, 1992), and/or due to a bias towards labelling internal mental events as externally produced under conditions of ambiguity, known as a bias in reality monitoring (Bentall and Slade, 1985). Evidence from neuroimaging suggests that monitoring of one's own speech, overt or covert, is related to activity in auditory cortical regions such as the lateral temporal lobe, including the superior temporal gyri (STG), a brain area that includes both primary and secondary auditory cortices (Allen et al., 2007; McGuire et al., 1996a). This corresponds well to ‘symptom-capture’ studies of AVHs, in which similar areas are often implicated (Allen et al., 2008). rTMS treatment is usually targeted at the left temporoparietal junction (TPJ), an area adjacent to, and with high levels of connectivity to, primary and secondary auditory cortex (Kindler et al., 2013). Therefore, it is possible that neurostimulation treatment affects brain regions involved in verbal self- or reality monitoring."<ref name="Moseley2013">Moseley, P., Fernyhough, C., & Ellison, A.
