Auditory hallucinations are likely the result of abnormalities in two brain processes: a 'broken' corollary discharge that fails to suppress self-generated sounds, and a 'noisy' efference copy that ...

For decades, scientists have suspected that the voices heard by people with schizophrenia might be their own inner speech gone awry. Now, researchers have found brainwave evidence showing exactly how ...

A novel digital treatment designed to reduce the frequency of auditory hallucinations and associated distress in patients with psychosis has been shown to be safe and effective, results from the ...

Schizophrenia, a mental illness that causes disorganized thinking and behavior, is characterized by a variety of symptoms, including hallucinations and delusions. Some schizophrenic patients ...

Scientists believe they’ve discovered where the “voices” heard by some people with schizophrenia emanate from using brainwave mapping. As detailed in a new study published in the journal PLOS Biology ...

A recent study has confirmed a longstanding theory about the origins of the ‘voices’ experienced by individuals with schizophrenia. This breakthrough validates a hypothesis that has been debated for ...

Many people live with a secret that feels almost impossible to describe. They hear speech or whispers that nobody else detects. These are not vague impressions. They can feel as solid as a friend ...
