 Kosta Koufos will reportedly exercise his $8.7 million player option and return to the Kings next season, according to ESPN’s Chris Haynes.

The 29-year-old Koufos signed a four-year, $33 million deal with the Kings back in 2015 and has been a consistent contributor during his three seasons with the team.

In 220 total games with Sacramento, Koufos has posted averages of 6.7 points and 5.9 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game, shooting 55.0 percent from the field.

Koufos recorded career-highs in assists (1.2) and steals (0.7) during the 2017-18 season, and his 6.6 rebounds per game was the second highest mark of his career. The present study used a novel experimental protocol to demonstrate that the production of an inner phoneme resulted in sensory attenuation of the auditory-evoked potential elicited by a simultaneously-presented audible phoneme, in the absence of any overt motor action. Crucially, the production of inner speech did not result in equal sensory attenuation to all sounds; sensory attenuation was dependent on the content of the inner phoneme matching the content of the audible phoneme. These results suggest that inner speech production is associated with a time-locked and content-specific internal forward model, similar to the one believed to operate in the production of overt speech (Hickok, 2012; Tourville and Guenther, 2011; Hickok and Poeppel, 2004; Houde et al., 2013). In short, the results of this study suggest that inner speech alone is able to elicit an efference copy and cause sensory attenuation of audible sounds.

The key finding of the present study was that the production of inner speech, by itself, led to N1-suppression to an audible sound. N1-suppression has been reported many times previously in response to overt speech (Ford et al., 2007a; Curio et al., 2000; Heinks-Maldonado et al., 2005; Oestreich et al., 2015; Houde et al., 2002). There is strong evidence that the mechanistic basis of N1-suppression to overt speech involves an efference-copy mediated IFM (Eliades and Wang, 2003; Crapse and Sommer, 2008; Rauschecker and Scott, 2009).

 Koufos record career - highs in assists (1.2) and steals (0.7) during the 2017 - 18 season, and his 6.6 rebound per game was the second highest mark of his career. The present survey used a novel experimental protocol to demonstrate that the production of an inner phoneme result in sensory attenuation of the auditory - evoked potential elicited by a simultaneously - presented audible phoneme, in the absence of any overt motor action. Crucially, the production of inner speech did not result in equal sensory attenuation to all sounds; sensory attenuation was dependent on the content of the inner phoneme match the content of the audible phoneme. These results indicate that inner speech production is associated with a meter - locked and content - specific internal forward exemplar, similar to the one believed to operate in the production of overt speech (Hickok, 2012; Tourville and Guenther, 2011; Hickok and Poeppel, 2004; Houde et al. , 2013). In short, the solution of this study suggest that inner speech entirely is able to elicit an efference replicate and induce centripetal attenuation of audible sounds. 

 The key finding of the present cogitation was that the production of inner speech, by itself, led to N1 - suppression to an audible sound. N1 - suppression has been reported many time previously in response to overt speech (Ford et al. , 2007a; Curio et al. , 2000; Heinks - Maldonado et al. , 2005; Oestreich et al. , 2015; Houde et al. , 2002). There is strong evidence that the mechanistic basis of N1 - inhibition to overt speech involves an efference - copy mediated IFM (Eliades and Wang, 2003; Crapse and Sommer, 2008; Rauschecker and Scott, 2009).
