The echo of a sound which did not produce an echo, but which the brain hears after the sound was made because it replays a sound the individual just heard in order to facilitate comprehension and interpretation. Imagined echoes are the auditory equivalent of the images the eyes continue to see though the still image they saw is no longer visible. That scientifically proven phenomenon is called the "persistence of vision," and makes it possible for the 30 still images motion picture projectors display one after the other to create the optical illusion the brain interprets as continuous movement.
Dick Shakey was creating a song on his computers piano keyboard when he heard a jet airplane fly by.

Some religions tell their followers they are "sinners"; other religions tell their followers they are "the chosen." Compliments such as "you are the best," or insults such as "you are a fucking idiot" are also examples of "identity giving".

A thought writer sends his thoughts from his brain via his nerves to his hand which writes them and lets him see his thoughts transformed into words.
Thought writing' and 'thought typing' are not the same as writing. Writing asks the brain to articulate a thought or an emotion for the writer to write down.
