What are auditory hallucinations? well, let's break down the two words here.
00:05
First, auditory.
00:07
Auditory means it's audio, so it's related to sound.
00:17
And hallucinations, so a hallucination is perception without stimulants.
00:28
So what does that mean? well, in the context of auditory hallucinations, to focus on the sense of sound, it means that usually your would pick up sound waves from the air, it would cause the membrane in the inner ear to vibrate, the hair cells would react, you would have an electrical signal go to the brain, and you would perceive that as sound.
00:52
A hallucination doesn't have that initial interaction in the inner ear, and there's no sound wave causing it.
00:59
It's purely the brain.
01:00
The brain is perceiving something without receiving that stimulus from the outside world...
