hallucination theory

Hallucination theory suggests that in some cases, our brains generate perceptions or experiences that are not based on external stimuli. Essentially, these are "false alarms" where the mind interprets internal signals as real sensory input, causing us to see, hear, or feel things that aren’t actually present. This can happen due to various factors like mental health conditions, fatigue, or neurological issues. The theory helps explain phenomena such as auditory or visual hallucinations in psychosis, emphasizing that these perceived experiences are generated internally rather than by external sources.
