Studies of auditory verbal hallucinations

Stephan Heckers. Psychophysiology. 2016 Mar.

Abstract

Neuroscientists have been exploring the mechanism of auditory verbal hallucinations. In this commentary, I review studies by Judy Ford, who employed a vocalization paradigm to test the hypothesis of impaired corollary discharge in psychotic patients who experience auditory verbal hallucinations. I highlight the strengths of this research program and reflect on the challenge of reducing a complex clinical feature to an abnormality of basic cognitive processes, such as language and memory.

Keywords: Event-related potential; Hallucination; Neuroimaging; Psychosis.
