Understanding hallucinations and their impact in psychosis.
A significant proportion of patients experience nonverbal auditory hallucinations as well as hallucinations in other modalities (visual, olfactory or tactile) but these experiences are frequently overlooked in hallucinations research in schizophrenia or other psychiatric disorders. The aim of this project will be to investigate the occurrence of one or more of these other hallucinatory syndromes in order to describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients experiencing them.
