Hallucination Image Recreation Experimental Research

Over the past two years, I have developed interactive tools that allow participants to recreate images of their visual hallucinations. In a series of experiments, over 100 participants were trained to recreate their visual hallucinations which are currently being quantitatively analysed. Data collection was completed in the summer of 2025 and preliminary results were presented at the 2025 annual meeting of the Association for Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC) in Heraklion.

These are the first known depictions of stroboscopic visual hallucinations, drawn by Purkinje over 200 years ago.
