“…In particular, researchers have used suggestion to induce auditory and visual hallucinations (Kosslyn, Thompson, Costantini-Ferrando, Alpert, & Spiegel, 2000;McGeown et al, 2012;Szechtman, Woody, Bowers, & Nahmias, 1998), as well as more complicated multimodal hallucinations (Nash, Lynn, & Stanley, 1984;Röder, Michal, Overbeck, van de Ven, & Linden, 2007). For example, one study found that suggestions for autoscopy (a visual hallucination of one's own body) coupled with a suggestion for disembodiment (the perception of being physically detached from one's body) was associated with reduced activation in right temporal parietal junction and medial prefrontal cortex relative to a control condition (Röder et al, 2007). This is notable because previous research has shown that direct electrical stimulation of right temporal parietal junction in an epilepsy patient reliably produced out-of-body experiences (Blanke, Ortigue, Landis, & Seeck, 2002); the latter result provides indirect corroboration of the neurophysiological effects of specific suggestions.…”
