Voices Are Mental: Difference between revisions

* Larynx transplants have been possible since 1998, and, in at least one case, the recipient sounded like he did before his own larynx was crushed, rather than sounding like the donor. So voices are partly mental.

** The larynx actually has very little to do with how voices sound, but it's not much mental, either. The larynx is a bit like the mouthpiece of a brass instrument. All mouthpieces sound about the same alone, but the sound quality changes drastically depending on whether itsit's attached to a trumpet or tuba. In this case, the entire human head acts as the actual "instrument.".
