Delayed Speech

This exhibit delays your words so that you hear yourself talking a fraction of a second after you've spoken, instead of as you are speaking. One or two people can talk into microphones and hear themselves in headphones. The playback of their voices is delayed by up to 1/5 of a second (variable). This delay makes it almost impossible for some people to speak intelligibly, since the normal mouth-to-ear feedback mechanism has been tampered with.
