別人對我們的看法離不開我們的聲音，但你與自己的聲音間的關係則不明顯。 若貝卡 · 克萊博格研究我們如何使用、理解我們的聲音和他人的聲音。 她解釋為什麼或許你並不喜歡自己留在錄音機上的聲音，外傳、內傳和內在聲音間的差異，以及在你不知情的情況下交流的非凡事物。

If you ask evolutionary biologists
0
760
3056
如果你問進化生物學家
00:15
when did humans become humans,
1
3840
3296
人類何時成為了人類，
00:19
some of them will say that,
2
7160
2096
有些人認為
00:21
well, at some point
we started standing on our feet,
we started standing on our feet,
3
9280
2896
是在某個我們開始直立起來的時候，
00:24
became biped and became
the masters of our environment.
the masters of our environment.
4
12200
3320
我們成為兩足動物和環境的主人；
00:28
Others will say that because our brain
started growing much bigger,
started growing much bigger,
5
16880
5296
也有人認為是大腦開始變大的時候，
00:34
that we were able to have
much more complex cognitive processes.
much more complex cognitive processes.
6
22200
3080
我們因而有了更複雜的認知過程；
00:38
And others might argue
that it's because we developed language
that it's because we developed language
7
26680
4376
還有其他人爭辯
人類物種能進化是因為語言的開發。
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，這三種現象相互關聯。
00:51
We are not sure how or in which order,
10
39520
2776
我們不確定到底如何或以何種順序，
00:54
but they are all linked
11
42320
1536
但都與脖子後面
那塊小骨頭的形狀變化有關，
那塊小骨頭的形狀變化有關，
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
01:00
that changed the angle
between our head and our body.
between our head and our body.
13
48840
3160
它改變了我們頭部和身體間的角度。
01:04
That means we were able to stand upright
14
52760
3056
這意味著我們能夠直立，
01:07
but also for our brain
to evolve in the back
to evolve in the back
15
55840
3136
大腦能夠在後面進化，
01:11
and for our voice box to grow
from seven centimeters for primates
from seven centimeters for primates
16
59000
5616
而且我們的喉頭
能從靈長類動物的 7 公分
01:16
to 11 and up to 17 centimetres for humans.
17
64640
3120
增長到人類的 11 至 17 公分。
01:21
And this is called
the descent of the larynx.
the descent of the larynx.
18
69080
2400
這被稱為喉頭的下降。
01:24
And the larynx is the site of your voice.
19
72280
1960
喉頭是你發聲的部位。
01:28
When baby humans are born today,
their larynx is not descended yet.
their larynx is not descended yet.
20
76160
4160
現今的嬰兒出生時，喉頭還沒下降，
01:33
That only happens
at about three months old.
at about three months old.
21
81160
2320
下降發生在三個月大左右。
01:37
So, metaphorically, each of us here
22
85040
2256
因此隱喻地說，我們這裡的每一個人
01:39
has relived the evolution
of our whole species.
of our whole species.
23
87320
3240
都已重溫整個人類物種的進化過程。
01:44
And talking about babies,
24
92880
1256
談到嬰兒，
01:46
when you were starting to develop
in your mother's womb,
in your mother's womb,
25
94160
2640
當你在母親的子宮裡開始發育，
01:49
the first sensation that you had
coming from the outside world,
coming from the outside world,
26
97600
4216
你從外界得到的第一感覺──
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
當你只有三個星期大，
大約一隻蝦的大小──
大約一隻蝦的大小──
01:57
were through the tactile sensation
28
105800
2696
是通過觸覺感受到
02:00
coming from the vibrations
of your mother's voice.
of your mother's voice.
29
108520
2800
你母親的聲音震動。
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，正如我們所見，
人類的聲音在物種層面和社會層面上
02:09
at the level of the species,
31
117440
2976
非常有意義和非常重要。
02:12
at the level of the society --
32
120440
1536
02:14
this is how we communicate
and create bonds,
and create bonds,
33
122000
2936
我們用聲音來溝通和連結。
02:16
and at the personal
and interpersonal levels --
and interpersonal levels --
34
124960
3456
我們在個人和人際層面上，
02:20
with our voice, we share much more
than words and data,
than words and data,
35
128440
3136
用聲音比用文字或數據分享得更多，
02:23
we share basically who we are.
36
131600
2136
我們基本上分享我們是誰。
02:25
And our voice is indistinguishable
from how other people see us.
from how other people see us.
37
133760
4376
別人對我們的看法
離不開我們的聲音。
離不開我們的聲音。
02:30
It is a mask that we wear in society.
38
138160
1920
這是我們在社會上戴的面具。
02:34
But our relationship with our own voice
is far from obvious.
is far from obvious.
39
142000
2810
但我們與自己聲音間的關係不明顯。
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
我們很少用自己的聲音，
而是把它送給別人。
而是把它送給別人。
02:42
It is how we touch each other.
41
150640
3176
聲音是我們彼此接觸的方式，
02:45
It's a dialectical grooming.
42
153840
1936
是一種辯證。
02:47
But what do we think about our own voice?
43
155800
2416
我們對自己的聲音有什麼看法？
02:50
So please raise your hand
44
158240
1736
如果你不喜歡
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
自己留在錄音機上的聲音，請舉手。
02:56
(Laughter)
46
164040
1216
（笑聲）
02:57
Yeah, thank you, indeed,
47
165280
1216
好，謝謝，
02:58
most people report not liking
the sound of their voice recording.
the sound of their voice recording.
48
166520
3896
的確大多數人不喜歡他們錄的聲音。
那是什麼意思？
03:02
So what does that mean?
49
170440
1216
03:03
Let's try to understand that
in the next 10 minutes.
in the next 10 minutes.
50
171680
2696
讓我們試著在接下來的
10 分鐘內了解這一點。
10 分鐘內了解這一點。
03:06
I'm a researcher at the MIT Media Lab,

我是麻省理工學院
媒體實驗室的研究員，

52
177520
1840
是未來歌劇團隊的一員，
（註：Opera of the Future group）
（註：Opera of the Future group）
03:12
and my research
focuses on the relationship

53
180200
3056
我研究的重點在於
人與自己的聲音、
與別人的聲音間的關係。
與別人的聲音間的關係。
03:15
people have with their own voice
and with the voices of others.
and with the voices of others.
54
183280
3080
03:19
I study what we can learn
from listening to voices,
from listening to voices,
55
187760
4056
我研究能從聆聽各種領域──
03:23
from the various fields,
56
191840
1376
神經學、生物學、認知科學、
03:25
from neurology to biology,
cognitive sciences, linguistics.

57
193240
3880
語言學──的聲音學到什麼。
03:30
In our group we create
tools and experiences
tools and experiences
58
198680
3056
我們小組創建工具和經驗，
03:33
to help people gain a better
applied understanding of their voice
applied understanding of their voice
59
201760
4736
幫助人們更理解、更會應用聲音，
03:38
in order to reduce the biases,
60
206520
3056
從而減少偏見，
03:41
to become better listeners,
61
209600
2096
成為更好的聽眾，
03:43
to create more healthy relationships
62
211720
2976
創造更健康的關係，
03:46
or just to understand themselves better.
63
214720
2000
或是更了解自己。
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
真的必須有全面的方法來處理聲音。
03:55
Because, think about all
the applications and implications
the applications and implications
65
223640
3616
因為當我們發現更多的聲音內容時，
03:59
that the voice may have,
as we discover more about it.
as we discover more about it.
66
227280
2880
試想所有它可能具有的應用和含義。
04:03
Your voice is a very complex phenomenon.
67
231160
3136
你的聲音是一個非常複雜的現象，
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
需要你身體裡
超過 100 個肌肉同步動作。
超過 100 個肌肉同步動作。
04:10
And by listening to the voice,
69
238480
2376
通過聽聲音，
04:12
we can understand possible failures
of what happens inside.
of what happens inside.
70
240880
4776
能了解可能失常的身體狀況。
04:17
For example:
71
245680
1200
例如：
04:19
listening to very specific
types of turbulences
types of turbulences
72
247840
3496
傾聽特定類型的不穩定氣流
04:23
and nonlinearity of the voice
73
251360
2296
和非線性的語音，
04:25
can help predict
very early stages of Parkinson's,
very early stages of Parkinson's,
74
253680
3456
有助於偵測非常早期的帕金森氏症，
04:29
just through a phone call.
75
257160
1400
通過電話聽就能；
04:31
Listening to the breathness of the voice
can help detect heart disease.
can help detect heart disease.
76
259519
4361
聆聽呼吸聲能幫助檢測心臟疾病；
04:37
And we also know that the changes of tempo
inside individual words
inside individual words
77
265880
4616
我們還知道單詞內部的節奏變化
04:42
is a very good marker of depression.
78
270520
2280
是個辨識抑鬱症的好標誌。
04:46
Your voice is also very linked
with your hormone levels.
with your hormone levels.
79
274320
3056
你的聲音也與激素水平非常相關；
04:49
Third parties listening to female voices
80
277400
2616
聆聽女人聲音的第三方人士，
04:52
were able to very accurately
place the speaker
place the speaker
81
280040
3016
能夠非常準確地
察覺發言者的月經週期，
04:55
on their menstrual cycle.
82
283080
1320
04:57
Just with acoustic information.
83
285560
1520
依靠聲學的訊息就夠了。
05:00
And now with technology
listening to us all the time,
listening to us all the time,
84
288800
3576
現在科技一直聆聽著我們的聲音，
05:04
Alexa from Amazon Echo
85
292400
2976
亞馬遜的 Echo & Alexa
（註：兩種人工智能用品）
（註：兩種人工智能用品）
05:07
might be able to predict
if you're pregnant
if you're pregnant
86
295400
2416
或許可以預測懷孕，
05:09
even before you know it.
87
297840
1696
甚至在本人之前就知道了。
05:11
So think about --
88
299560
1336
請思考
05:12
(Laughter)
89
300920
1176
（笑聲）
05:14
Think about the ethical
application of that.
application of that.
90
302120
2080
請思考那個應用的道德問題。
05:17
Your voice is also very linked
to how you create relationships.
to how you create relationships.
91
305720
3096
你的聲音也與如何建立關係很相關。
05:20
You have a different voice
for every person you talk to.
for every person you talk to.
92
308840
3376
你用不同的聲音與每個人交談。
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
如果我採取並分析一小段你的聲音，
05:27
I can know whether you're talking
to your mother, to your brother,
to your mother, to your brother,
94
315760
3376
我能知道你說話的對象
是母親、兄弟、
是母親、兄弟、
05:31
your friend or your boss.
95
319160
1616
朋友或老闆。
05:32
We can also use, as a predictor,
the vocal posture.
the vocal posture.
96
320800
5176
我們還能用人聲的姿勢來預測，
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
指的是你與人交談時聲音的位置。
05:41
And you vocal posture,
when you talk to your spouse,
when you talk to your spouse,
98
329960
3216
你和配偶交談時聲音的姿勢
05:45
can help predict not only if,
but also when you will divorce.
but also when you will divorce.
99
333200
3680
不僅有助於預測你會不會離婚，
還能預測你何時離婚。
還能預測你何時離婚。
05:50
So there is a lot to learn
from listening to voices.
from listening to voices.
100
338560
2440
所以傾聽聲音能學到很多東西。
05:54
And I believe this has to start
with understanding
with understanding
101
342080
2376
我相信這必須從
理解我們擁有不止一個聲音開始。
05:56
that we have more than one voice.
102
344480
2016
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
我將以稱為「面具」的模型
來談論大多數人擁有的三種聲音。
06:02
in a model of what I call the mask.
104
350400
2320
06:05
So when you look at the mask,
105
353520
1976
當你看著面具，
06:07
what you see is a projection
of a character.
of a character.
106
355520
2280
看到的是個角色的投影。
06:10
Let's call that your outward voice.
107
358360
2136
讓我們稱之為「外傳聲音」。
06:12
This is also the most classic way
to think about the voice,
to think about the voice,
108
360520
2816
這是最經典的聲音思考方式，
06:15
it's a way of projecting
yourself in the world.
yourself in the world.
109
363360
2896
是一種投射自己的方式。
06:18
The mechanism for this projection
is well understood.
is well understood.
110
366280
3256
這投射機制已被理解透徹。
06:21
Your lungs contract your diaphragm
111
369560
2336
你的肺收縮橫隔膜，
06:23
and that creates a self-sustained
vibration of your vocal fold,
vibration of your vocal fold,
112
371920
3256
產生持續的聲帶振動
06:27
that creates a sound.
113
375200
1496
而發出聲音。
06:28
And then the way you open and close
the cavities in you mouth,
the cavities in you mouth,
114
376720
3176
當你張嘴和閉嘴時
06:31
your vocal tract is going to
transform the sound.
transform the sound.
115
379920
2696
聲道會改變聲音。
06:34
So everyone has the same mechanism.
116
382640
2216
每個人的機制都相同，
06:36
But voices are quite unique.
117
384880
1776
但聲音很獨特。
06:38
It's because very subtle differences
in size, physiology, in hormone levels
in size, physiology, in hormone levels
118
386680
5776
這是因為體型、生理、
激素水平上的細微差異，
激素水平上的細微差異，
06:44
are going to make very subtle
differences in your outward voice.
differences in your outward voice.
119
392480
3640
會使你的外傳聲音
產生非常微妙的差異，
產生非常微妙的差異，
06:48
And your brain is very good
120
396840
2016
加上你的大腦非常善於
06:50
at picking up those subtle differences
from other people's outward voices.
from other people's outward voices.
121
398880
3800
從他人的外傳聲音攫取細微的差異。
06:55
In our lab, we are working
on teaching machines
on teaching machines
122
403760
3256
我們實驗室正在教導機器
06:59
to understand those subtle differences.
123
407040
2416
理解這些細微的差異。
07:01
And we use deep learning to create
a real-time speaker identification system
a real-time speaker identification system
124
409480
5856
我們以深度學習建立即時的系統
來辨識說話的人，
來辨識說話的人，
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
有助於提高認知
共享聲音空間的使用──
共享聲音空間的使用──
07:12
so who talks and who never
talks during meetings --
talks during meetings --
126
420160
2400
例如誰在會談中發言
和誰從不說話──
和誰從不說話──
07:15
to increase group intelligence.
127
423480
1800
以增加集體的智慧。
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
困難之一是你的聲音並不是靜止的。
07:23
We already said that it changes
with every person you talk to
with every person you talk to
129
431000
3136
我們已經說過，
它隨著你交談的對象而改變，
它隨著你交談的對象而改變，
07:26
but it also changes generally
throughout your life.
throughout your life.
130
434160
2936
也在你的一生中變化。
07:29
At the beginning
and at the end of the journey,
and at the end of the journey,
131
437120
2216
在人生旅程的開始和結束時，
07:31
male and female voices are very similar.
132
439360
2696
男性和女性的聲音非常相似，
07:34
It's very hard to distinguish
133
442080
1536
難以區分
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
女幼童和男幼童的聲音。
07:40
But in between, your voice
becomes a marker of your fluid identity.
becomes a marker of your fluid identity.
135
448280
5096
但在兩者之間，
你的聲音成為你流暢身份的標誌。
你的聲音成為你流暢身份的標誌。
07:45
Generally, for male voices
there's a big change at puberty.
there's a big change at puberty.
136
453400
3936
一般來說，男性的聲音
在青春期有個很大的變化。
在青春期有個很大的變化。
07:49
And then for female voices,
137
457360
1336
而女性的聲音
每次懷孕都會有變化，
每次懷孕都會有變化，
07:50
there is a change at each pregnancy
and a big change at menopause.
and a big change at menopause.
138
458720
3240
而更年期會發生巨大的變化。
07:55
So all of that is the voice
other people hear when you talk.
other people hear when you talk.
139
463320
4136
這些全都是其他人聽到的你的語音。
07:59
So why is it that we're so
unfamiliar with it?
unfamiliar with it?
140
467480
3200
為什麼我們不熟悉自己的聲音呢？
08:03
Why is it that it's not
the voice that we hear?
the voice that we hear?
141
471600
3416
為什麼那不是我們聽到的聲音？
08:07
So, let's think about it.
142
475040
1216
試想，
08:08
When you wear a mask,
you actually don't see the mask.
you actually don't see the mask.
143
476280
3520
你戴著面具時實際上看不到面具；
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
你試圖觀察它時會看到面具的裡面，
08:17
And that's your inward voice.
145
485240
1680
那就是你的「內傳聲音」。
08:20
So to understand why it's different,
146
488560
2016
因此，要理解它為什麼不同，
08:22
let's try to understand the mechanism
of perception of this inward voice.
of perception of this inward voice.
147
490600
3680
試著去理解內傳聲音的感知機制。
08:27
Because your body has many ways
of filtering it differently
of filtering it differently
148
495560
2936
你的身體過濾內傳聲音的方法，
08:30
from the outward voice.
149
498520
2016
很多與過濾外傳聲音的不同。
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
被感知的聲音先要抵達你的耳朵。
08:36
And your outward voice
travels through the air
travels through the air
151
504080
2576
外傳的聲音藉由空氣傳播，
08:38
while your inward voice
travels through your bones.
travels through your bones.
152
506680
3496
而內傳的聲音藉由骨頭傳播。
08:42
This is called bone conduction.
153
510200
1600
這被稱為骨傳導。
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
正因為如此，
內傳的聲音會處於較低的音域，
內傳的聲音會處於較低的音域，
08:49
and also more musically harmonical
than your outward voice.
than your outward voice.
155
517679
4721
比外傳的聲音更有共鳴。
08:55
Once it travels there,
it has to access your inner ear.
it has to access your inner ear.
156
523400
3896
一旦抵達，聲音必須進入你的內耳。
08:59
And there's this other mechanism
taking place here.
taking place here.
157
527320
2416
這裡還有其他的機制發生，
09:01
It's a mechanical filter,
158
529760
2096
是個機械過濾器，
09:03
it's a little partition
that comes and protects your inner ear
that comes and protects your inner ear
159
531880
3536
是一個小隔板，
每當你發聲時都會保護你的內耳，
09:07
each time you produce a sound.
160
535440
2736
09:10
So it also reduces what you hear.
161
538200
2200
所以也會減低你聽到的音量。
09:13
And then there is a third filter,
it's a biological filter.
it's a biological filter.
162
541240
2960
還有第三個過濾器，
是個生物過濾器：你的耳蝸。
是個生物過濾器：你的耳蝸。
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
它是內耳處理聲音的一部分，
09:21
is made out of living cells.
164
549160
2056
由活細胞組成，
09:23
And those living cells
are going to trigger differently
are going to trigger differently
165
551240
3096
根據聽到聲音的頻率
09:26
according to how often
they hear the sound.
they hear the sound.
166
554360
2576
觸發這些活細胞的頻率，
09:28
It's a habituation effect.
167
556960
1400
這是習慣效應。
09:31
So because of this,
168
559400
1536
因此，
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
因為你生活中聽到最多的聲音
是你自己的聲音，
是你自己的聲音，
09:36
you actually hear it less
than other sounds.
than other sounds.
170
564040
2480
你真的聽到它的時候，
比聽到其他的聲音少。
比聽到其他的聲音少。
09:39
Finally, we have a fourth filter.
171
567280
2016
最後，我們有第四個過濾器，
09:41
It's a neurological filter.
172
569320
1520
是個神經過濾器。
09:43
Neurologists found out recently
173
571760
2456
神經學家最近發現
09:46
that when you open your mouth
to create a sound,
to create a sound,
174
574240
2776
當你張嘴發聲時，
09:49
your own auditory cortex shuts down.
175
577040
2800
你自己的聽覺皮層就會關閉。
09:54
So you hear your voice
176
582400
2896
所以你聽到自己的聲音，
09:57
but your brain actually never listens
to the sound of your voice.
to the sound of your voice.
177
585320
4280
但你的腦並不真的聆聽自己的聲音。
10:04
Well, evolutionarily
that might make sense,
that might make sense,
178
592040
2536
從進化的角度來看，這可能有道理，
10:06
because we know cognitively
what we are going to sound like
what we are going to sound like
179
594600
2976
因為我們認知
自己聽起來是什麼樣子，
自己聽起來是什麼樣子，
10:09
so maybe we don't need
to spend energy analyzing the signal.
to spend energy analyzing the signal.
180
597600
3160
也許毋需花費精力去分析訊號。
10:13
And this is called a corollary discharge
181
601560
3656
這被稱為「感知回饋」，
10:17
and it happens for every motion
that your body does.
that your body does.
182
605240
2496
發生在你身體的每一個動作上。
10:19
The exact definition
of a corollary discharge
of a corollary discharge
183
607760
2216
感知回饋的確切定義
10:22
is a copy of a motor command
that is sent by the brain.
that is sent by the brain.
184
610000
5256
是由大腦發送的動作命令的副本。
10:27
This copy doesn't create any motion itself
185
615280
2696
該副本本身不產生任何動作，
10:30
but instead is sent
to other regions of the brain
to other regions of the brain
186
618000
3976
而是發送到大腦的其他區域，
10:34
to inform them of the impending motion.
187
622000
2160
通知他它們即將發生的動作。
10:38
And for the voice, this corollary
discharge also has a different name.
discharge also has a different name.
188
626120
3480
這種感知回饋在聲音上的名稱不同，
10:42
It is your inner voice.
189
630480
2096
是你的「內在聲音」。
10:44
So let's recapitulate.
190
632600
1816
讓我們重述一下。
10:46
We have the mask, the outward voice,
191
634440
2056
我們有面具，外傳的聲音，
10:48
the inside of the mask, your inward voice,
192
636520
3096
面具裡面是內傳的聲音，
10:51
and then you have your inner voice.
193
639640
2016
然後是內在的聲音。
10:53
And I like to see this one
as the puppeteer
as the puppeteer
194
641680
2056
我喜歡將這視為
掌握整個系統弦樂的傀儡手。
10:55
that holds the strings
of the whole system.
of the whole system.
195
643760
2440
10:59
Your inner voice is
196
647440
1616
當你為重要的會談排練時，
11:01
the one you hear
when you read a text silently,
when you read a text silently,
197
649080
2840
你默默地閱讀文本時
聽到的是你內在的聲音。
11:05
when you rehearse
for an important conversation.
for an important conversation.
198
653320
2240
11:08
Sometimes is hard to turn it off,
199
656760
1616
有時很難把它關掉；
11:10
it's really hard to look at the text
written in your native language,
written in your native language,
200
658400
4056
看到用母語寫的文本時，
真的很難不用內在的聲音去讀它。
11:14
without having this inner voice read it.
201
662480
2080
11:17
It's also the voice
that refuse to stop singing
that refuse to stop singing
202
665800
2336
這也是難以關掉你腦袋裡
反覆播放著的愚蠢歌曲的原因。
反覆播放著的愚蠢歌曲的原因。
11:20
the stupid song you have in your head.
203
668160
1816
11:22
(Laughter)
204
670000
1200
（笑聲）
11:25
And for some people
it's actually impossible to control it.
it's actually impossible to control it.
205
673280
3696
實際上有一些人無法控制它。
11:29
And that's the case
of schizophrenic patients,
of schizophrenic patients,
206
677000
2736
這就是患有幻聽的
精神分裂症患者的情況，
11:31
who have auditory hallucinations.
207
679760
2016
11:33
Who can't distinguish at all
between voices coming from inside
between voices coming from inside
208
681800
3336
他們無法區分腦內、腦外的聲音。
11:37
and outside their head.
209
685160
1496
11:38
So in our lab, we are also
working on small devices
working on small devices
210
686680
3376
因此我們實驗室正在研究小型設備，
11:42
to help those people
make those distinctions
make those distinctions
211
690080
2536
來幫助這些人分辨這些區別，
11:44
and know if a voice
is internal or external.
is internal or external.
212
692640
2640
是內部還是外部的聲音。
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
你也能把內在的聲音
想成夢中說話的聲音。
想成夢中說話的聲音。
11:53
This inner voice can take many forms.
214
701120
2096
這種內在的聲音能有多種形式。
11:55
And in your dreams, you actually unleash
the potential of this inner voice.
the potential of this inner voice.
215
703240
4216
在夢中，你實際上釋放了
這種內在聲音的潛力。
這種內在聲音的潛力。
11:59
That's another work
we are doing in our lab:
we are doing in our lab:
216
707480
2056
這是我們實驗室的另一項工作：
12:01
trying to access
this inner voice in dreams.
this inner voice in dreams.
217
709560
3160
試圖在夢中獲得這種內在的聲音。
12:06
So even if you can't always control it,
218
714280
2296
即使內在的聲音並不總是由你控制，
12:08
the inner voice --
you can always engage with it
you can always engage with it
219
716600
2536
你能通過對話，
12:11
through dialogue, through inner dialogues.
220
719160
2336
通過內心的對話來與之對話。
12:13
And you can even see this inner voice
221
721520
1816
你甚至能將這種內在的聲音
12:15
as the missing link
between thought and actions.
between thought and actions.
222
723360
2640
看作是思想與行動之間缺失的聯繫。
12:20
So I hope I've left you
with a better appreciation,
with a better appreciation,
223
728640
3136
我希望我已經讓你更賞識
12:23
a new appreciation of all of your voices
224
731800
3456
你所有的聲音，
12:27
and the role it plays
inside and outside of you --
inside and outside of you --
225
735280
2536
以及對聲音在你內外
發揮的作用有了新的認識。
發揮的作用有了新的認識。
12:29
as your voice is a very critical
determinant of what makes you humans
determinant of what makes you humans
226
737840
4416
因為你的聲音是
讓你成為人類的關鍵決定因素，
讓你成為人類的關鍵決定因素，
12:34
and of how you interact with the world.
227
742280
2280
讓你與世界互動。
12:37
Thank you.
228
745120
1216
謝謝。
12:38
(Applause)

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. Her work has also been featured in Engadget and "60 Minutes."
