Abstract:
Visual hallucinations can be broadly divided into those of a simple or complex nature. In this talk I will discuss the evidence and theories underlying the generation of both types of hallucinations in the psychedelic state, in experimental manipulations and in patient groups. I will also discuss our most recent research paper, where we assess the contribution of visual stimulation in generating simple and complex experimentally induced hallucinations.
