This recording, together with the nervine reactions on the "speaking instrument" furnish an occillographic picture of "internal speech"..' Up to now, psychologists have not succeeded in deciphering the bizarre lines of the automatic recorder. They are close to determining the sound spcctruii for distinguishing the sounds without error, and have already succeeded in deter-iin- develop an apparatus for this which will be suited for extensive use.
