Cover Story: This study used EEG to investigate how the brain processes speech rhythm cues during silent reading. We examined ERPs and brain oscillations in response to word sequences with a specific stress pattern, followed by a target word that matched or broke the established rhythm. Rhythmic processing, including the anticipation and detection of stress patterns, was reflected in N400 differences and theta, alpha, and beta power changes. These findings suggest that our brains process speech rhythms during silent reading similarly to how we process them when listening to spoken language, supporting the idea that we engage an inner voice while reading.
