How can we “hear” auditory hallucinations?

781 views

What causes auditory hallucinations in the brain? For example, when you are sleep deprived, it is possible to hear things very clearly as if they were real. For example, voices of people talking, which some people with schizophrenia experience commonly in their daily lives. But of course there is no input from the ears. So what exactly is happening and how is that possible?

In the same way you can close your eyes and imagine what something looks like.

Unless you have aphantasia. But you get my point.
