In spite of the fact that musical hallucination have a significant impact on patients' lives, they have received very little attention of experts. Some researchers agree on a combination of peripheral and central dysfunctions as the mechanism that causes hallucination. The most accepted physiopathology of musical hallucination associated to hearing loss (caused by cochlear lesion, cochlear nerv...

Although rumination has been proposed to play an important role in the creation of hallucinations, direct empirical tests of this proposal have not yet been performed. Employing a distinction between ruminative and reflective self-consciousness, we set out to test a new model of the relations among rumination, reflection, intrusive thoughts, thought suppression, social anxiety, and hallucinatio...

introduction many conditions can mimic psychiatric symptoms. amongst them, intracranial mass and space occupying lesions have a significant importance. aggression and hallucination are seen in association with a basal frontal lesion, and may mimic psychotic syndromes. case presentation a 37-year-old man with no previous mental illness presented with a month history of headache, blurred vision, ...

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...

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...
