Abstract

Hallucinations are intriguing and complex perceptual phenomena that involve the perception of sensory experiences in the absence of external stimuli. This article explores the diverse nature of hallucinations, their underlying mechanisms, and their significance in both clinical and non-clinical contexts. By examining the various types of hallucinations, their neurobiological basis, and the cultural and historical perspectives surrounding them, this article sheds light on the fascinating interplay between perception, cognition, and the intricate workings of the human mind.
