DESCRIPTION:Hallucinations involve perceptions of stimuli that
  do not exist in the physical world\, such as hear
 ing voices or seeing visions. Hallucinations occur
  not only in schizophrenia\, but are experienced b
 y people with other psychiatric disorders\, neurol
 ogical and neurodegenerative conditions\, and amon
 g the general population. Advances in neuroimaging
  technology have given insights into the brain str
 uctures and functions that are associated with hal
 lucinations\, but our understanding of why people 
 experience hallucinations remains incomplete. In t
 his talk I will explore the brain mechanisms under
 lying hallucinations\, the role of reality\nmonito
 ring - the cognitive capacity to distinguish betwe
 en internally- and externally-generated informatio
 n\, and how understanding the brain basis of hallu
 cinations can contribute to theoretical accounts o
 f hallucinations\, optimize treatment strategies\,
  and inform how we perceive our external world and
  determine what is real.
