How can we “hear” auditory hallucinations?

779 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?

If you’ve partaken in psychedelics you know that a user doesn’t get full on hallucinations like in the movies. Like you’re not sitting there normal and then you see Bigfoot.

What you see are distortions and embellishments of what you’re already looking at. Auditory hallucination works the same way. You hear one thing and your brain morphs it into something unreal.
