The aim of the current study was to examine how belief in the validity of hallucinations relates to the association between hallucination frequency and associated distress. In a sample of inpatients with psychotic symptoms, results demonstrated that hallucination believability predicted later distress after controlling for symptom frequency. In addition, results were consistent with the hypothe...

introduction: radiotherapy is a common treatment modality for patients with head and neck malignancies. as the nose lies within the field of radiotherapy of the head and neck, the olfactory fibers and olfactory receptors may be affected by radiation. the aim of this study was to evaluate changes in olfactory threshold in patients with head and neck malignancies who have received radiation to th...

In Phase I of the investigation, 70 5s were assigned to one of three treatment conditions: hypnotic induction, instructions to simulate hypnosis, or imagination control. All 5s were assessed on Orne's two indexes of trance logic (the transparent hallucination and the double hallucination). The imagination controls consistently showed trance logic as often as the hypnotic Ss. Depending upon the ...

A novel face hallucination method is proposed in this paper for the reconstruction of a high-resolution face image from a low-resolution observation based on a set of highand low-resolution training image pairs. Different from most of the established methods based on probabilistic or manifold learning models, the proposed method hallucinates the high-resolution image patch using the same positi...

Abstract Disjunctivists maintain that perceptual experiences and hallucinatory are distinct kinds of event with different metaphysical natures. Moreover, given their view about the nature cases, disjunctivists must deny kind experience can occur during hallucination. However, it is widely held grant converse claim, to effect occurs even perception. This paper challenges thought. As we will see,...

Obtaining a high-quality frontal face image from low-resolution (LR) non-frontal is primarily important for many facial analysis applications. However, mainstreams either focus on super-resolving near-frontal LR faces or frontalizing high-resolution (HR) faces. It desirable to perform both tasks seamlessly daily-life unconstrained images. In this paper, we present novel Vivid Face Hallucination...

objective(s): in the past few decades, variety of foetal, embryonic and adult stem and progenitor cells have been tried with conflicting outcome for cell therapy of central nervous system injury and diseases. cellular characteristics and functional plasticity of globose basal stem cells (gbcs) residing in the olfactory epithelium of rat olfactory mucosa have not been studied in the past by the ...

Schizophrenia and various neurological disorders have some signs and symptoms. Visual hallucinations are one of such disorders. The related studies in some diseases for example Parkinson Disease and Lewy Body Dementia indicate that Acetylcholine (Ach) plays a significant role in neuropsychiatric manifestation and its association with visual hallucination; therefore, visual hallucinations occur ...

Face hallucination method is proposed to generate highresolution images from low-resolution ones for better visualization. However, conventional hallucination methods are often designed for controlled settings and cannot handle varying conditions of pose, resolution degree, and blur. In this paper, we present a new method of face hallucination, which can consistently improve the resolution of f...

The objectives of the present study were to examine the degree of co-existence of hallucinations and delusions in the nonclinical population. In addition, we wished to investigate the role of metacognitions in hallucinations and delusions. Finally, we explored the relative roles of positive and negative metacognitive beliefs in proneness to hallucinations and delusions. Three hundred and thirty...
