Hallucination
A hallucination is a perception in the absence of a
stimulus that is believed to be genuine, ie. the subject experiences an imaginary stimulus as being real. A pseudohallucination is similar to an hallucination in all respects except that of absolute belief in the authenticity of the stimulus. In an illusory experience, a genuine sensation is attributed to an incorrect cause (eg. misinterpreting a coat hanging on a door to be an intruder). A delusional perception is where a genuine perception (ie. correctly sensed and interpreted) is given some additional (and typically bizarre) significance. Hallucinations may occur in any sensory modality—
visual,
auditory,
olfactory,
gustatory,
tactile,
proprioceptive,
equilibrioceptive,
nociceptive,
thermoceptive.
