Oates' claim is that on average, after 15-20 minutes of casual conversation, a person conveys two related sentences, only one of which we can hear naturally. The second message is embedded backwards into the person's speech. Rehearsed speech takes 60-90 minutes before a message is conveyed through reversed speech.

This means that if a person's statement was recorded and played backwards, the speaker's unconscious thoughts could be heard. The most famous recording that allegedly demonstrates this is the speech given by Neil Armstrong at the time of the moon landing in 1969.

Neil Alden Armstrong (born August 5, 1930) is a former American astronaut, test pilot, university professor, and Naval Aviator. ...

While the theory, that the human brain can express otherwise hidden thoughts by embedding them as reversed speech into the intended speech, is quite fascinating, there are simpler theories, that explain these astonishing messages, too. A quite simple and well published explanation for this phenomenon is, that the human brain desperately and partially successfully tries to make sense out of the noise, as soon as it expects that noise to be a spoken language (just like a hungry snake, that eats a stone, if it misses the bait; or like seeing animals in clouds). Phonetic reversal is the process of reversing the phonemes of a word or phrase. ...
