Abstract

This article presents the data analyzed in the paper "Is imagining a voice like listening to it? Evidence from ERPs" [1]. The data include individual ERP data when participants were performing auditory imagery of native and non-native English speech during silent reading vs. normal silent reading, and behavioral results from participants performing the Nelson-Denny Reading Comprehension task and Bucknell Auditory Imagery Scale (BAIS). The repository includes the R scripts used to carry out the statistical analyses reported in the original paper.
