A provocative investigation into hallucinations—their many guises, their physiological sources, and their personal and cultural resonances.
In his latest book, neurologist and bestselling author, Oliver Sacks (Awakenings, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia, The Mind’s Eye) presents a provocative investigation into hallucinations—their many guises, their physiological sources, and their personal and cultural resonances. Join us at Live Talks Los Angeles as he discusses what hallucinations say about the organization and structure of our brains, how they have influenced every culture’s folklore and art, and why the potential for hallucination is present in all of us.
Hallucinations, for most people, imply madness. But there are many different types of non-psychotic hallucination caused by various illnesses or injuries, by intoxication—even, for many people, by falling asleep. From the elementary geometrical shapes that we see when we rub our eyes to the complex swirls and blind spots and zigzags of a visual migraine, hallucination takes many forms.
In his new book, Hallucinations, physician and best-selling author Oliver Sacks draws on a wealth of clinical examples from his own patients as well as historical and literary descriptions as he investigates the fundamental differences and similarities of these many sorts of hallucinations.
