HALLUCINATION The experience of sensory events without any input any input from the surrounding environment is called hallucination.Hallucination can involve any of the senses,although hearing things that are not there,or auditory hallucination,is the most common form experienced by people with schizophrenia. The cause of hallucination found through many researches that the part of the brain most avtive during hallucination was the area called Broca's area.This observation is surprising because Broca's area is known to be involved in speech production. If hallucination involve understanding the speech of others, you might expect more activity in the area of brain that involves language comprehension, an area are called Wernike's area.This observation of brain activity during hallucination supports a theory that people who are hallucinating are in fact not hearing the voice of others, but instead are listening to their own voices and connot recognize the difference.
