你的声音是和你给别人的印象紧密联系在一起的，但是你和你声音的关系却不显而易见。丽贝卡 · 克莱英伯格研究了我们是怎样使用和理解我们自己和别人的声音的。她解释了为什么你可能不喜欢你在录音带中的声音，你外在，内在和内心的声音的区别——以及你在交流中没有意识到的不寻常的事情。

如果你问生物进化学家们
00:12
If you ask evolutionary biologists
0

3056
人类是在什么时候变成人的，
00:15
when did humans become humans,
1
3840
3296
有些人会说，
00:19
some of them will say that,
2
7160
2096
在我们开始能够站立，
00:21
well, at some point
we started standing on our feet,
we started standing on our feet,
3
9280
2896
00:24
became biped and became
the masters of our environment.
the masters of our environment.
4
12200
3320
变成两足生物，成为环境的主导者。
00:28
Others will say that because our brain
started growing much bigger,
started growing much bigger,
5
16880
5296
其他人会说，因为我们的
大脑开始逐渐越长越大，
大脑开始逐渐越长越大，
因此我们拥有更加复杂的认知过程。
00:34
that we were able to have
much more complex cognitive processes.
much more complex cognitive processes.
6
22200
3080
00:38
And others might argue
that it's because we developed language
that it's because we developed language
7
26680
4376
有些人可能会说
那是因为我们发展了语言，
那是因为我们发展了语言，
使得我们可以作为一种物种进化。
00:43
that allowed us to evolve as a species.
8
31080
2280
00:46
Interestingly, those three
phenomena are all connected.
phenomena are all connected.
9
34960
4536
有趣的是，那三种情况
都是有关联的。
都是有关联的。
00:51
We are not sure how or in which order,
10
39520
2776
我们不清楚是怎么样的顺序，
00:54
but they are all linked
11
42320
1536
但是它们都是和
00:55
with the change of shape of a little bone
in the back of your neck
in the back of your neck
12
43880
3760
你后颈的那一块，因其形状变化
而导致你的头部和身体的角度变化的
而导致你的头部和身体的角度变化的
01:00
that changed the angle
between our head and our body.
between our head and our body.
13
48840
3160
小骨头联系在一起的。
01:04
That means we were able to stand upright
14
52760
3056
这样才使我们能够直立，
01:07
but also for our brain
to evolve in the back
to evolve in the back
15
55840
3136
同样也使得我们的后脑进化，
01:11
and for our voice box to grow
from seven centimeters for primates
from seven centimeters for primates
16
59000
5616
我们的喉头从灵长类的七厘米
01:16
to 11 and up to 17 centimetres for humans.
17
64640
3120
长成到人类的十一到十七厘米。
01:21
And this is called
the descent of the larynx.
the descent of the larynx.
18
69080
2400
这就是喉头的由来。
01:24
And the larynx is the site of your voice.
19
72280
1960
喉头就是你发声的地方。
01:28
When baby humans are born today,
their larynx is not descended yet.
their larynx is not descended yet.
20
76160
4160
当婴儿出生的时候，
他们还没有喉头，
他们还没有喉头，
01:33
That only happens
at about three months old.
at about three months old.
21
81160
2320
在三个月大的时候才长出喉头。
01:37
So, metaphorically, each of us here
22
85040
2256
打个比方，在座的每个人
01:39
has relived the evolution
of our whole species.
of our whole species.
23
87320
3240
都重新体验了一遍人类的进化。
01:44
And talking about babies,
24
92880
1256
说到婴儿，
01:46
when you were starting to develop
in your mother's womb,
in your mother's womb,
25
94160
2640
当你在母亲的子宫里开始成长，
01:49
the first sensation that you had
coming from the outside world,
coming from the outside world,
26
97600
4216
你对外界产生的第一个感知，
01:53
at only three weeks old,
when you were about the size of a shrimp,
when you were about the size of a shrimp,
27
101840
3936
在你只有几周大，还只有
一只虾那么大的时候，
一只虾那么大的时候，
01:57
were through the tactile sensation
28
105800
2696
是通过来自于你母亲声音震动
02:00
coming from the vibrations
of your mother's voice.
of your mother's voice.
29
108520
2800
所产生的触觉。
02:04
So, as we can see, the human voice
is quite meaningful and important
is quite meaningful and important
30
112440
4976
因此我们可以看到人类的
声音在物种层面
声音在物种层面
02:09
at the level of the species,
31
117440
2976
是很有意义也是很重要的，
02:12
at the level of the society --
32
120440
1536
在社会层面也是如此——
02:14
this is how we communicate
and create bonds,
and create bonds,
33
122000
2936
这是我们交流和建立连接的方式，
02:16
and at the personal
and interpersonal levels --
and interpersonal levels --
34
124960
3456
在个人和人与人之间的层面——
02:20
with our voice, we share much more
than words and data,
than words and data,
35
128440
3136
有了声音，我们分享的
不仅仅是字和数据，
不仅仅是字和数据，
02:23
we share basically who we are.
36
131600
2136
我们展示的是自己。
02:25
And our voice is indistinguishable
from how other people see us.
from how other people see us.
37
133760
4376
我们的声音和我们给别人的印象
是紧密联系在一起的。
是紧密联系在一起的。
02:30
It is a mask that we wear in society.
38
138160
1920
这是我们在社会上戴的一个面具。
02:34
But our relationship with our own voice
is far from obvious.
is far from obvious.
39
142000
2810
但是我们和自己声音的关系
并不是显而易见的。
并不是显而易见的。
02:37
We rarely use our voice for ourselves;
we use it as a gift to give to others.
we use it as a gift to give to others.
40
145840
4776
我们很少把声音用在自己身上；我们
把声音当作一个给别人的礼物。
把声音当作一个给别人的礼物。
02:42
It is how we touch each other.
41
150640
3176
这就是我们接触对方的方式。
这是一种辩证的梳理。
02:45
It's a dialectical grooming.
42
153840
1936
02:47
But what do we think about our own voice?
43
155800
2416
但是我们是怎么看待
自己的声音的呢？
自己的声音的呢？
02:50
So please raise your hand
44
158240
1736
如果你不喜欢
02:52
if you don't like the sound of your voice
when you hear it on a recording machine.
when you hear it on a recording machine.
45
160000
4016
录音带里自己的声音，请举手。
02:56
(Laughter)
46
164040
1216
（笑）
02:57
Yeah, thank you, indeed,
47
165280
1216
谢谢，的确，
很多人反应说
不喜欢他们声音的录音。
不喜欢他们声音的录音。
02:58
most people report not liking
the sound of their voice recording.
the sound of their voice recording.
48
166520
3896
那这意味着什么呢？
03:02
So what does that mean?
49
170440
1216
让我们在接下来的十分钟内去尝试着
去搞懂这个问题。
去搞懂这个问题。
03:03
Let's try to understand that
in the next 10 minutes.
in the next 10 minutes.
50
171680
2696
03:06
I'm a researcher at the MIT Media Lab,
51
174400
3096
我是MIT媒体实验室的
一名研究人员，
一名研究人员，
03:09
part of the Opera of the Future group,
52
177520
1840
也是“未来歌剧”组的一员，
03:12
and my research
focuses on the relationship
focuses on the relationship
53
180200
3056
我们的研究专注在
03:15
people have with their own voice
and with the voices of others.
and with the voices of others.
54
183280
3080
人们和自己的声音，
以及他人声音的关系上。
以及他人声音的关系上。
03:19
I study what we can learn
from listening to voices,
from listening to voices,
55
187760
4056
我的研究是关于
我们可以在不同的领域
我们可以在不同的领域
03:23
from the various fields,
56
191840
1376
从聆听中学到什么，
03:25
from neurology to biology,
cognitive sciences, linguistics.
cognitive sciences, linguistics.
57
193240
3880
从神经学到生物学，
认知科学，语言学。
认知科学，语言学。
03:30
In our group we create
tools and experiences
tools and experiences
58
198680
3056
在研究组中，我们创造工具和体验
03:33
to help people gain a better
applied understanding of their voice
applied understanding of their voice
59
201760
4736
来帮助人们对自己的声音
产生更好的理解，
产生更好的理解，
03:38
in order to reduce the biases,
60
206520
3056
从而来减少偏见，
03:41
to become better listeners,
61
209600
2096
变成更好的聆听者，
03:43
to create more healthy relationships
62
211720
2976
建立更健康的人际关系，
03:46
or just to understand themselves better.
63
214720
2000
又或者只是能够更好的了解自己。
03:50
And this really has to come
with a holistic approach on the voice.
with a holistic approach on the voice.
64
218240
4280
这就要涉及到对声音的整体研究。
03:55
Because, think about all
the applications and implications
the applications and implications
65
223640
3616
在我们更进一步的探究
这个话题的时候，
这个话题的时候，
03:59
that the voice may have,
as we discover more about it.
as we discover more about it.
66
227280
2880
想一下声音可能含有的
所有的应用和含义吧。
所有的应用和含义吧。
04:03
Your voice is a very complex phenomenon.
67
231160
3136
你的声音是一个非常复杂的现象。
04:06
It requires a synchronization
of more than 100 muscles in your body.
of more than 100 muscles in your body.
68
234320
3320
它需要你身体里超过
一百块肌肉的同步运动。
一百块肌肉的同步运动。
04:10
And by listening to the voice,
69
238480
2376
通过聆听自己的声音，
04:12
we can understand possible failures
of what happens inside.
of what happens inside.
70
240880
4776
我们可以判断
身体可能出了什么毛病。
身体可能出了什么毛病。
04:17
For example:
71
245680
1200
比如说：
04:19
listening to very specific
types of turbulences
types of turbulences
72
247840
3496
通过一些很特别的不稳定气流
04:23
and nonlinearity of the voice
73
251360
2296
和非线性的声音，
04:25
can help predict
very early stages of Parkinson's,
very early stages of Parkinson's,
74
253680
3456
可以帮助预测早期的帕金森病，
04:29
just through a phone call.
75
257160
1400
仅仅通过打电话就可以做到。
04:31
Listening to the breathness of the voice
can help detect heart disease.
can help detect heart disease.
76
259519
4361
监听呼吸声可以帮助诊断心脏病。
04:37
And we also know that the changes of tempo
inside individual words
inside individual words
77
265880
4616
我们也知道，说话时改变
每一个字的节拍
每一个字的节拍
04:42
is a very good marker of depression.
78
270520
2280
是抑郁症一个明显的信号。
04:46
Your voice is also very linked
with your hormone levels.
with your hormone levels.
79
274320
3056
你的声音也和体内的激素水平有关。
04:49
Third parties listening to female voices
80
277400
2616
第三方听女性的声音
04:52
were able to very accurately
place the speaker
place the speaker
81
280040
3016
可以很准确的判断出
04:55
on their menstrual cycle.
82
283080
1320
说话者是否处于经期。
04:57
Just with acoustic information.
83
285560
1520
仅仅是根据声音的信息。
05:00
And now with technology
listening to us all the time,
listening to us all the time,
84
288800
3576
现在有了能够
一直听我们说话的技术，
一直听我们说话的技术，
05:04
Alexa from Amazon Echo
85
292400
2976
亚马逊Echo的Alexa
05:07
might be able to predict
if you're pregnant
if you're pregnant
86
295400
2416
也许都可以在你之前
05:09
even before you know it.
87
297840
1696
预测出你有没有怀孕。
05:11
So think about --
88
299560
1336
所以，想象一下——
05:12
(Laughter)
89
300920
1176
（笑）
05:14
Think about the ethical
application of that.
application of that.
90
302120
2080
想象一下它在伦理道德上的运用。
05:17
Your voice is also very linked
to how you create relationships.
to how you create relationships.
91
305720
3096
你的声音也和你怎样
创建人际关系是有关的。
创建人际关系是有关的。
05:20
You have a different voice
for every person you talk to.
for every person you talk to.
92
308840
3376
对每一个和你交谈的人，
你都会展现出不同的声音。
你都会展现出不同的声音。
05:24
If I take a little snippet
of your voice and I analyze it,
of your voice and I analyze it,
93
312240
3496
如果我截取一小段你的声音
然后进行剖析，
然后进行剖析，
05:27
I can know whether you're talking
to your mother, to your brother,
to your mother, to your brother,
94
315760
3376
我可以知道你是在和你妈妈，哥哥，
05:31
your friend or your boss.
95
319160
1616
朋友，还是你的老板说话。
05:32
We can also use, as a predictor,
the vocal posture.
the vocal posture.
96
320800
5176
我们还可以用你的声音表现
来当作预测器。
来当作预测器。
05:38
Meaning, how you decide to place
your voice when you talk to someone.
your voice when you talk to someone.
97
326000
3936
也就是当你和一个人交谈的时候，
会用什么样的声音。
会用什么样的声音。
05:41
And you vocal posture,
when you talk to your spouse,
when you talk to your spouse,
98
329960
3216
当你和另一半说话的时候，
你声音的表现
你声音的表现
05:45
can help predict not only if,
but also when you will divorce.
but also when you will divorce.
99
333200
3680
还可以预测你是否，
以及什么时候会离婚。
以及什么时候会离婚。
05:50
So there is a lot to learn
from listening to voices.
from listening to voices.
100
338560
2440
所以通过听声音，
我们可以获得很多信息。
我们可以获得很多信息。
05:54
And I believe this has to start
with understanding
with understanding
101
342080
2376
我相信，我们首先得知道
05:56
that we have more than one voice.
102
344480
2016
我们不仅仅是只有一种声音。
05:58
So, I'm going to talk
about three voices that most of us posses,
about three voices that most of us posses,
103
346520
3856
所以，我接下来要说说
三种大多数人都有的声音，
三种大多数人都有的声音，
06:02
in a model of what I call the mask.
104
350400
2320
以一种我称之为面具模型的方式。
06:05
So when you look at the mask,
105
353520
1976
当你看着这个面具，
06:07
what you see is a projection
of a character.
of a character.
106
355520
2280
你看到的是一个人物的投影。
06:10
Let's call that your outward voice.
107
358360
2136
让我们称之为外在的声音。
06:12
This is also the most classic way
to think about the voice,
to think about the voice,
108
360520
2816
这也是最常见的看待声音的方式，
06:15
it's a way of projecting
yourself in the world.
yourself in the world.
109
363360
2896
这是反映你自己的一种方式。
06:18
The mechanism for this projection
is well understood.
is well understood.
110
366280
3256
这种反映方式的原理
也是很好理解的。
也是很好理解的。
06:21
Your lungs contract your diaphragm
111
369560
2336
你的肺会压缩你的膈
06:23
and that creates a self-sustained
vibration of your vocal fold,
vibration of your vocal fold,
112
371920
3256
从而让声带产生自供的震动，
06:27
that creates a sound.
113
375200
1496
来发出声音。
06:28
And then the way you open and close
the cavities in you mouth,
the cavities in you mouth,
114
376720
3176
你在打开和关闭口腔的时候，
06:31
your vocal tract is going to
transform the sound.
transform the sound.
115
379920
2696
声道就会传递声音。
06:34
So everyone has the same mechanism.
116
382640
2216
所以每个人的发声原理都是一样的。
06:36
But voices are quite unique.
117
384880
1776
但是声音是独一无二的。
06:38
It's because very subtle differences
in size, physiology, in hormone levels
in size, physiology, in hormone levels
118
386680
5776
这是因为在尺寸，生理和
激素方面的微小差异
激素方面的微小差异
06:44
are going to make very subtle
differences in your outward voice.
differences in your outward voice.
119
392480
3640
会使你外在的声音
产生细微的不同。
产生细微的不同。
06:48
And your brain is very good
120
396840
2016
你的大脑能够很好的
察觉到那些来自于他人
声音中的微小差异。
声音中的微小差异。
06:50
at picking up those subtle differences
from other people's outward voices.
from other people's outward voices.
121
398880
3800
06:55
In our lab, we are working
on teaching machines
on teaching machines
122
403760
3256
在实验室，我们研究教学机器
06:59
to understand those subtle differences.
123
407040
2416
来了解那些微小的差异。
07:01
And we use deep learning to create
a real-time speaker identification system
a real-time speaker identification system
124
409480
5856
我们用深度学习技术创建了
一个实时的声音辨别系统
一个实时的声音辨别系统
07:07
to help raise awareness
on the use of the shared vocal space --
on the use of the shared vocal space --
125
415360
4776
来帮助提升使用
共享声音空间的意识——
共享声音空间的意识——
07:12
so who talks and who never
talks during meetings --
talks during meetings --
126
420160
2400
——谁在会议中发言，
或者从来不说话——
或者从来不说话——
07:15
to increase group intelligence.
127
423480
1800
来提升团队效率。
07:17
And one of the difficulties with that
is that your voice is also not static.
is that your voice is also not static.
128
425960
4120
其中一个困难就是，
你的声音不总是一成不变的。
你的声音不总是一成不变的。
07:23
We already said that it changes
with every person you talk to
with every person you talk to
129
431000
3136
就如之前提到的，你的声音会
因交谈对象而异，
因交谈对象而异，
07:26
but it also changes generally
throughout your life.
throughout your life.
130
434160
2936
但通常在人的
一生中也会逐渐改变。
一生中也会逐渐改变。
07:29
At the beginning
and at the end of the journey,
and at the end of the journey,
131
437120
2216
在生命的开始和末尾阶段，
07:31
male and female voices are very similar.
132
439360
2696
男性和女性的声音是非常相似的。
很难去辨别
07:34
It's very hard to distinguish
133
442080
1536
07:35
the voice of a very your girl
from the voice of a very young boy.
from the voice of a very young boy.
134
443640
3120
小女孩和小男孩的声音。
07:40
But in between, your voice
becomes a marker of your fluid identity.
becomes a marker of your fluid identity.
135
448280
5096
但是在这期间，你的声音
成为了你流动身份的标记。
成为了你流动身份的标记。
07:45
Generally, for male voices
there's a big change at puberty.
there's a big change at puberty.
136
453400
3936
通常来说，男性的声音
会在青春期有很大的改变。
会在青春期有很大的改变。
07:49
And then for female voices,
137
457360
1336
对女性来说，
07:50
there is a change at each pregnancy
and a big change at menopause.
and a big change at menopause.
138
458720
3240
每一次的孕期声音都会有所改变，
并且在更年期变化更大。
并且在更年期变化更大。
07:55
So all of that is the voice
other people hear when you talk.
other people hear when you talk.
139
463320
4136
这都是你说话时
别人所听到的声音。
别人所听到的声音。
07:59
So why is it that we're so
unfamiliar with it?
unfamiliar with it?
140
467480
3200
那为什么我们自己对于
这些声音却那么陌生呢？
这些声音却那么陌生呢？
08:03
Why is it that it's not
the voice that we hear?
the voice that we hear?
141
471600
3416
为什么这些不是我们自己
所听到的声音？
所听到的声音？
08:07
So, let's think about it.
142
475040
1216
我们来想想看。
08:08
When you wear a mask,
you actually don't see the mask.
you actually don't see the mask.
143
476280
3520
当你戴着面具的时候，
你实际上是看不到面具（的正面）的。
你实际上是看不到面具（的正面）的。
08:12
And when you try to observe it,
what you will see is inside of the mask.
what you will see is inside of the mask.
144
480640
3920
当你尝试去观察这个面具的时候，
你看到的是面具的内部。
你看到的是面具的内部。
08:17
And that's your inward voice.
145
485240
1680
这就是你内在的声音。
08:20
So to understand why it's different,
146
488560
2016
要去搞清这种差异产生的原因，
08:22
let's try to understand the mechanism
of perception of this inward voice.
of perception of this inward voice.
147
490600
3680
让我们试着去理解一下
内在声音感知的原理。
内在声音感知的原理。
08:27
Because your body has many ways
of filtering it differently
of filtering it differently
148
495560
2936
你的身体有很多不同的方式
08:30
from the outward voice.
149
498520
2016
把它从外在的声音中筛选出来。
08:32
So to perceive this voice,
it first has to travel to your ears.
it first has to travel to your ears.
150
500560
3496
为了察觉到这个声音，
它最开始传播到你的耳朵。
它最开始传播到你的耳朵。
08:36
And your outward voice
travels through the air
travels through the air
151
504080
2576
你的外在声音在空气中传播，
08:38
while your inward voice
travels through your bones.
travels through your bones.
152
506680
3496
同时你内在声音在你的骨头中传播。
08:42
This is called bone conduction.
153
510200
1600
这就是骨传导。
08:44
Because of this, your inward voice
is going to sound in a lower register
is going to sound in a lower register
154
512640
5015
如此一来，你的
内在声音的音域会更低，
内在声音的音域会更低，
08:49
and also more musically harmonical
than your outward voice.
than your outward voice.
155
517679
4721
也会比外在的声音听起来更和谐。
08:55
Once it travels there,
it has to access your inner ear.
it has to access your inner ear.
156
523400
3896
当它传播到那里，
必须进入到你的内耳。
必须进入到你的内耳。
08:59
And there's this other mechanism
taking place here.
taking place here.
157
527320
2416
这就涉及到另一个原理。
09:01
It's a mechanical filter,
158
529760
2096
这是一种机械过滤，
09:03
it's a little partition
that comes and protects your inner ear
that comes and protects your inner ear
159
531880
3536
是在你每一次发声的时候
09:07
each time you produce a sound.
160
535440
2736
能够保护你内耳的一种分隔器。
09:10
So it also reduces what you hear.
161
538200
2200
所以你听到的内容也会有所减少。
09:13
And then there is a third filter,
it's a biological filter.
it's a biological filter.
162
541240
2960
还有第三种过滤，
是一种生物过滤。
是一种生物过滤。
09:16
Your cochlea -- it's a part of your
inner ear that processes the sound --
inner ear that processes the sound --
163
544880
4256
你的耳蜗 ——用来处理声音的
内耳的一部分——
内耳的一部分——
09:21
is made out of living cells.
164
549160
2056
是由活细胞组成的。
09:23
And those living cells
are going to trigger differently
are going to trigger differently
165
551240
3096
那些活细胞会根据
它们是否频繁地听到某种声音
它们是否频繁地听到某种声音
09:26
according to how often
they hear the sound.
they hear the sound.
166
554360
2576
而被不同程度地激发。
09:28
It's a habituation effect.
167
556960
1400
这是一种习惯效应。
09:31
So because of this,
168
559400
1536
因此，
你自己的声音虽然是
你一生中最常听到的声音，
你一生中最常听到的声音，
09:32
as your voice is the sound
you hear the most in your life,
you hear the most in your life,
169
560960
3056
09:36
you actually hear it less
than other sounds.
than other sounds.
170
564040
2480
实际上却比其他声音
更少的被你的听觉接收。
更少的被你的听觉接收。
09:39
Finally, we have a fourth filter.
171
567280
2016
最后是第四种过滤。
09:41
It's a neurological filter.
172
569320
1520
这是一种神经过滤。
09:43
Neurologists found out recently
173
571760
2456
神经学家近期发现
09:46
that when you open your mouth
to create a sound,
to create a sound,
174
574240
2776
当你张开嘴发声的时候，
09:49
your own auditory cortex shuts down.
175
577040
2800
你的听觉皮层会关闭。
09:54
So you hear your voice
176
582400
2896
因此你听到了自己的声音，
09:57
but your brain actually never listens
to the sound of your voice.
to the sound of your voice.
177
585320
4280
但是你的大脑并没有去听你的声音。
10:04
Well, evolutionarily
that might make sense,
that might make sense,
178
592040
2536
按进化论来说，这也说得通，
10:06
because we know cognitively
what we are going to sound like
what we are going to sound like
179
594600
2976
因为我们下意识的知道
我们的声音听起来是怎样的，
我们的声音听起来是怎样的，
10:09
so maybe we don't need
to spend energy analyzing the signal.
to spend energy analyzing the signal.
180
597600
3160
因此我们不需要耗费能量
去分析这个信号。
去分析这个信号。
10:13
And this is called a corollary discharge
181
601560
3656
这个过程被称作就“伴随发送”，
10:17
and it happens for every motion
that your body does.
that your body does.
182
605240
2496
会发生在你身体的每一个动作上。
10:19
The exact definition
of a corollary discharge
of a corollary discharge
183
607760
2216
伴随发送的精确定义是
10:22
is a copy of a motor command
that is sent by the brain.
that is sent by the brain.
184
610000
5256
一个大脑发出的指令的复印件。
10:27
This copy doesn't create any motion itself
185
615280
2696
这个复印件自身不产生任何动作，
10:30
but instead is sent
to other regions of the brain
to other regions of the brain
186
618000
3976
而是被送去大脑的另一个地方
10:34
to inform them of the impending motion.
187
622000
2160
通知即将到来的动作。
10:38
And for the voice, this corollary
discharge also has a different name.
discharge also has a different name.
188
626120
3480
对于声音来说，这个伴随发送
也有另一个名字。
也有另一个名字。
10:42
It is your inner voice.
189
630480
2096
就是你内心的声音。
10:44
So let's recapitulate.
190
632600
1816
让我们来概括一下。
10:46
We have the mask, the outward voice,
191
634440
2056
我们有面具，也就是外在声音，
10:48
the inside of the mask, your inward voice,
192
636520
3096
在面具的里面就是你内在的声音，
10:51
and then you have your inner voice.
193
639640
2016
然后就是你内心的声音。
10:53
And I like to see this one
as the puppeteer
as the puppeteer
194
641680
2056
我想把这个看成是
一个手握整个系统的绳子的
一个手握整个系统的绳子的
10:55
that holds the strings
of the whole system.
of the whole system.
195
643760
2440
演木偶戏的人。
10:59
Your inner voice is
196
647440
1616
你内心的声音就是
11:01
the one you hear
when you read a text silently,
when you read a text silently,
197
649080
2840
当你默读文字，或者复述一个
11:05
when you rehearse
for an important conversation.
for an important conversation.
198
653320
2240
很重要的对话时在脑海中听到的。
11:08
Sometimes is hard to turn it off,
199
656760
1616
有时候是很难关闭这个声音的，
11:10
it's really hard to look at the text
written in your native language,
written in your native language,
200
658400
4056
当看到用你的母语写的
文字的时候很难做到
文字的时候很难做到
11:14
without having this inner voice read it.
201
662480
2080
不去用你内心的声音来读它。
11:17
It's also the voice
that refuse to stop singing
that refuse to stop singing
202
665800
2336
这也正是拒绝停止在你脑海里唱
11:20
the stupid song you have in your head.
203
668160
1816
那些很蠢的歌的声音。
11:22
(Laughter)
204
670000
1200
（笑）
11:25
And for some people
it's actually impossible to control it.
it's actually impossible to control it.
205
673280
3696
对于有些人来说，
这实际上很难去控制。
这实际上很难去控制。
11:29
And that's the case
of schizophrenic patients,
of schizophrenic patients,
206
677000
2736
对精神分裂症患者来说就是这样，
11:31
who have auditory hallucinations.
207
679760
2016
他们有幻听，
11:33
Who can't distinguish at all
between voices coming from inside
between voices coming from inside
208
681800
3336
不能够分辨内在发出的声音
11:37
and outside their head.
209
685160
1496
和外界的声音。
11:38
So in our lab, we are also
working on small devices
working on small devices
210
686680
3376
在实验室，我们也同样
在研究小型设备
在研究小型设备
11:42
to help those people
make those distinctions
make those distinctions
211
690080
2536
来帮助那些人分辨
11:44
and know if a voice
is internal or external.
is internal or external.
212
692640
2640
那些声音是内在的还是外界的。
11:48
You can also think about the inner voice
as the voice that speaks in your dream.
as the voice that speaks in your dream.
213
696760
4336
你也可以把内心的声音
想成是你梦中的声音。
想成是你梦中的声音。
11:53
This inner voice can take many forms.
214
701120
2096
内心的声音可以是很多形式的。
11:55
And in your dreams, you actually unleash
the potential of this inner voice.
the potential of this inner voice.
215
703240
4216
在你的梦中，你实际上是在
解放那些潜在的内心的声音。
解放那些潜在的内心的声音。
11:59
That's another work
we are doing in our lab:
we are doing in our lab:
216
707480
2056
这也是我们实验室中的另一项工作：
12:01
trying to access
this inner voice in dreams.
this inner voice in dreams.
217
709560
3160
尝试获得在梦中出现的内心的声音。
12:06
So even if you can't always control it,
218
714280
2296
因此，即使你不能
总是控制内心的声音——
总是控制内心的声音——
12:08
the inner voice --
you can always engage with it
you can always engage with it
219
716600
2536
你仍然可以参与其中，
12:11
through dialogue, through inner dialogues.
220
719160
2336
通过对话，内心的对话。
12:13
And you can even see this inner voice
221
721520
1816
你也可以把这个
内心的声音看成是
内心的声音看成是
想法和行动之间遗失的连接。
12:15
as the missing link
between thought and actions.
between thought and actions.
222
723360
2640
12:20
So I hope I've left you
with a better appreciation,
with a better appreciation,
223
728640
3136
那么，我希望我给你们留下了
一个对你自己声音的
一个对你自己声音的
12:23
a new appreciation of all of your voices
224
731800
3456
更好的，崭新的认识，
12:27
and the role it plays
inside and outside of you --
inside and outside of you --
225
735280
2536
还有它在内部和外在的
你当中扮演的角色——
你当中扮演的角色——
12:29
as your voice is a very critical
determinant of what makes you humans
determinant of what makes you humans
226
737840
4416
一个之所以成为人类，
以及如何与世界互动的
以及如何与世界互动的
12:34
and of how you interact with the world.
227
742280
2280
很重要的决定性因素。
12:37
Thank you.
228
745120
1216
谢谢。

Why you should listen
Rébecca Kleinberger creatively mixes science, engineering, design and art to explore ways to craft experiences for vocal connection. As part of this work, she designs unique experiences to help people connect with themselves and with others. She accomplishes this using approaches that include projection mapping, virtual reality, rapid prototyping, deep learning, real-time digital signal processing, lasers, wearable technologies and robotics. See examples ranging from a projection ball gown to a memory music box to assistive wearable devices for stutterers on her portfolio.
Throughout six years of work on self-reflection technologies, Kleinberger has developed unique expertise on the human voice as a means of self-connection as well as with others and between species. Her research spans a wide range of fields including neurology, human-computer interaction, psychology, cognitive sciences, physics, biology, clinical research, linguistics, communication theory and assistive technologies. With these tools, people discover more about themselves and the expression they project.
Kleinberger's work was featured on the cover of the Financial Times Magazine and has been shown at a wide range of events and venues including the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, Le Laboratoire in Paris, Siggraph Art exhibition in Los Angeles, the "Hacking Consciousness"exhibit at the Harvard Divinity School and EMF camp in the UK. She has collaborated with Microsoft Research UK and the Google Magenta team and has presented her research at a host of international conferences. Working with Tod Machover, head of the Opera of the Future group, and other group members, her research has also been deployed outside the MIT Media Lab as part of live shows and novel esthetic experiences at Maison Symphonique de Montreal, the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland and the Winspear Opera House in Dallas.
