Abstract Background While advances in the field of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provide new opportunities to study brain networks underlying experience hallucinations psychosis, there are methodological challenges unique symptom-capture studies. Study Design We extracted activated during hallucination-capture for schizophrenia patients when fMRI data collected from two sites was...

College students screened for hallucination-proneness using the Launay-Slade Hallucination Scale (LSHS) were compared on measures of self-report vividness of imagery and on behavioral measures of imagery and perception (visual and auditory). Specifically, we tested the hypothesis whether hallucination-prone individuals would show smaller differences between imagery and perception performance, w...

BackgroundOlfactory hallucinations can be part of epileptic seizures orbitofrontal origin. Olfactory hallucinations, however, are rare and therefore the semiology, localization lateralization characteristics underdetermined. In addition, many discrepancies found in literature regarding olfactory processing (OF) functions function. Particularly, questions laterality affective component coding od...

Background: Ketamine is one of the most common drugs that used in general anesthesia. Water solubility, high efficacy for Anesthesia induction and low cardiac and respiratory side effects make it suitable drug for general anesthesia. But this drug has side effects such as increased airway secretion, ICP, IOP, IGP that can be managed comfortably. The most common side effect of ketamine is post...

25 untreated urban living schizophrenics fulfilling the criteria of Feighner et al., having Schneiderian auditory hallucination were studied with the aim of examining the experienced reality of auditory hallucination and the influence on this reality of certain variables. It was found that the hallucinations were more real than unreal. Duration of illness, presence of anxiety prior to hallucina...

In this paper various approaches for face hallucination has been studied. Face hallucination transform a low resolution face image into high resolution face image by enhancing the low resolution part of the image, a low resolution image can be developed from HR image by the process of down sampling, but if a low resolution image has to convert into HR image that is not so easy process. Face hal...

Face hallucination is one of learning-based super resolution techniques, which is focused on resolution enhancement of facial images. Though face hallucination is a powerful and useful technique, some detailed high-frequency components cannot be recovered. It also needs accurate alignment between training samples. In this paper, we propose a high-frequency compensation framework based on residu...

Deficits in emotion-based learning are implicated in many psychiatric disorders. Research conducted with patients with schizophrenia using one of the most popular tasks for the investigation of emotion-based learning, the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), has largely been inconclusive. The present study employed a novel, contingency-shifting variant IGT with hallucination- and delusion-prone university...

Objective: Isolated visual hallucinations is considered as the Charles Bonnet syndrome. Ophtalmic or brain organic disease is a necessary or exclusionary criterion for diagnosis. In previous reports, it reported only solitary hallucination. In this report, we found multiple hallucinations. Case Presentation: In this article we report a 64 year-old blind man with renal failure under hemodialy...

This article focuses on the mystical connotations of olfactory images in V. Nabokov’s prose from his French period (1937–1940). The authors analyse connection between mystical, philosophical, and aesthetic conceptions. They demonstrate that experience is not conveyed by writer directly but through narration structure forms code literature philosophy (as N. Gogol, P. Ouspensky, A. Bergson, etc.)...
