I was a student at an Atlanta University when I first heard auditory hallucinations.
Specifically, participants produced one of two target words on each trial, and heard auditory feedback temporally gated with their own utterances using a real-time signal processing system.
Individuals who scored as having the most vivid imagery (lowest VVI scores) were also the individuals who benefited most from hearing auditory labels, r(18) = −.490, p = .033 (VVQ data from one subject were missing due to experimenter error).
All simulations were performed using the 'Brian' simulator (Goodman and Brette, 2008, 2009) with the 'Brian hears' auditory periphery library (Fontaine et al., 2011).
A microphone was used during the auditory modality demo and speakers were used to help the participants hear the auditory output.
In order to ensure that participants could hear the auditory stimuli during the perception task and that we could take audible voice samples during scanning of the production task, we used a sparse sampling paradigm throughout the experiment [14], [15].
First, we present the main results regarding the normal hearing auditory model in comparison to the reference approaches (Section 6.1).
There are an increasing number of studies exploring the association between voice-hearing (auditory verbal hallucinations) and dissociative experiences.
Schizophrenia is a multi-symptom disorder characterised by abnormalities in various domains of mental functioning including hearing (auditory hallucinations), belief (delusions), logical thinking (thought disorder), motivation and emotion [ 1].
According to his research, the intervention could be understood as a form of vibroacoustic therapy that combines hearing (auditory perception) with the perception of vibrations (somatosensoric perception of pressure, touch and vibration) that may induce a state of kinesthetic trance and relaxation.
