On: Dr. Erich Jarvis: The Neuroscience of Speech, Language and Music [video]

I was really surprised to learn that when we read (even not out loud), we actually generate the muscular activity to speak the words that we are reading.

Does anyone know which studies corroborate this? I couldn't find links on the website or in the YouTube video description.
